Just a quick couple of announcements<\/p>\n
AUDIO BOOKS – DISORDERLY KNIGHTS<\/p>\n
To follow up on the mention in the last newsletter – the audiobook of Disorderly Knights is now in and I’ve put hotlinks on the website in Dunnett Book News and in the Bibliography for anyone who wants to order it. Or you can use the following link if your email client supports it. http:\/\/www.jamesthin.co.uk\/stocksearch\/order\/item?1841972940<\/s> It’s on 17 cassettes and is narrated by Andrew Napier again. Price is UKP 59.95 (+171\/2% VAT in the UK) The only downside is that we weren’t in time to correct his faulty pronunciation of Lymond. Lets hope they sort it out for Pawn in Frankincense.<\/p>\n
Still no fresh copies of Game of Kings but hopefully it shouldn’t be too long now. Queens’ Play is back in stock.<\/p>\n
HISTORY OF ORKNEY<\/p>\n
Our own Mercat Press have just published a book that I know quite of few of you have been looking forward to – particularly those of us who have been to this wonderful group of islands<\/p>\n
New History of Orkney
\nWilliam P L Thomson
\nhttp:\/\/www.jamesthin.co.uk\/stocksearch\/order\/item?1841830224<\/s>
\n529 pages UKP 14.99<\/p>\n
It’s a new edition of a book originally published in 1987 which was the first history of Orkney for over half a century It’s been completely rewritten and extended, with important new work on the Picts, Vikings, medieval Orkney, and the Reformation. The author was for 20 years the Rector of Kirkwall Grammar School and has written numerous books and papers on Orkney and Shetland. >From what I’ve seen of it on a quick glance through it looks pretty good.<\/p>\n

COURSE IN DUNNETT<\/p>\n
A correspondent has just sent me this link about a course called “State and Society in the Fifteenth Century” based around the House of Niccolo, taking place at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The tutor is a reader of this newsletter – hope you don’t mind the mention Sharon, it sounds fascinating. Err, can we all get honorary diplomas? \ud83d\ude09
