Hi Tina,

    Thanks for your response and the recommendation,  I found a copy
    through abebooks.com and have ordered it. 

    I agree with you, seeing the pieces in person is more enlightening
    than simply looking at photos in a book.  If only for the simple
    fact you can get a better idea of the scale or other other details
    that don't translate well in a photo. 

    Here in Calgary the Glenbow Museum recently had an exhibition "The
    Mysterious Bog People."  In it there were quite a few pieces of
    jewellry, coins and other items left as offerings in the bogs of
    Northern Europe. The book published by the sponsoring museums shows
    quite a few of the artifacts and several in macro photos but none
    have any indication of size of the items.  Perhaps it is the
    scientist in me but I like to see photographic scales with
    artifacts.  :-) 

    Thanks again for the recommendation,  I can't wait until my copy
    shows up. 

    Mike O'Toole 

    PS I apologize for the late response,  I am just getting over the
    cold I picked up in San Francisco last weekend.
