Pimping
It's unusual for me to pimp books at all, and even more unusual for me to pimp an academic book, but I'm going to anyway.
Paris in the Middle Ages
As I said, it's an academic book. (It also happens to be a translation from French.) But considering that a chunk of my f'list are novelists and/or medieval history buffs, I wanted to bring this one up. It's a detailed (and I do mean detailed!) description of day-to-day life in Paris in the 13th and 14th centuries.
It's not available yet, but will be in about 4 weeks. (Amazon says April 22, but I have the very best authority to say it will be earlier than that.)
