O CRAP....right now for some reason they're not linking back to Amazon at all but to Aimoo....WTF? If it doesn't clear up I'll do it the hard way later
I've read that there's never been a biography of Jane Seymour done before and that this Elizabeth Norton one is the first. Is that possible after all this time? I also read her other books have been highly criticized because she is supposed to be an Oxford historian but doesn't write like one or use proper annotation of sources.

Also, A Tudor Tragedy by Lacey Baldwin Smith is being reissued as Catherine Howard: The Queen Whose Adulteries Made a Fool of Henry the Eighth. As I recall Smith was very sympathetic toward CH so what's up with the harsh re-titling?
The Lady in the Tower: The Fall of Anne Boleynby Alison Weir (coming in Jan, can be pre-ordered @ Amazon) how original of her to steal Jean Plaidy's title LOL
Some geek in an Oregon Richard III Society uses time travel to yank Richard out of Bosworth seconds before his demise & plonk him into 2004....where you just know hijinks will ensue LOL This sounds really good & the 1st few pgs of it are available as a preview. It's getting good reviews as well. Dunno how I missed this un!
If it doesn't clear up I'll do it the hard way later 
Going to keep my eye peeled for this one.
