Oxbow Books 2014 Bargain Catalogue

Happy New Year, and welcome to the 2014 vintage of our ever-popular Bargain Catalogue. It brings together a bumper crop of sale titles on everything from Anglo-Saxon buckets to Roman armour, hunter- gatherer folk-lore from South Africa to medieval Armenian manuscripts, as well as hardy perennials like Stonehenge and Pompeii. The only thing they have in common are the prices, which are all as low as we can manage. Much of what fills the catalogue is brand new, with Shire Archaeology, Boydell & Brewer and the Catholic University of America Press represented particularly well. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Bargain Catalogue without some mouth-watering reductions on our own titles, and this time round we have dozens of really special new deals on Oxbow and Windgather Press books. The only downside is that many of these books are in strictly limited supply. For that reason, we encourage you to get your orders in quickly to be sure of getting the books you desire. As ever it is a pleasure dealing with your orders – we hope that there is something here to catch your eye. 2 General Interest
