"Good Designs But No Dates From Where Designs Came" according to Shunyata1Good Designs But No Dates From Where Designs Came I liked the designs and there were many to choose from. It would have been better if the period for each design was listed instead of Celtic Design found on a brooch. If you want to know an exact period for reinactment clothing you won't get any info in this book. If you don't care about the period that the design comes from then you have a lot to choose from. There was mostly Celtic designs and some Norse designs so if you want more Old Norse designs you won't find them in this book. The Celtic designs are very good with plenty to choose from.. .
