Teresa Dietzinger, aka "Amethyst Angel," is the author of a comprehensive text on costume armor-making which i reviewed some months back and wound up using as a textbook in my masks and armor course.
Well, lo and behold, Ms. Dietzinger has a blog at
proplady, found my review, and commented letting me know some wonderful news: she has revamped her book, split it into two parts and written a third, & retitled the trio with much more academically-acceptable titles. The new books are all available from Lulu.com, and Ms. Dietzinger has put up a comprehensive site about what they contain here:

Pretty cool! I'll definitely be checking them out as potential texts once armor class rolls back around again in 2009. My favorite thing about the advent of Print on Demand publishing is its invaluable resource to niche-market writers.
( And two more armor project images from one of my students! )
