Over the past year, I’ve been presenting an hour-long lecture entitled “All About Assiut.”  Sometimes it’s a slide presentation and at other times, it’s more of a hand’s on informal talk.  As I’ve been working on my book, the handout has evolved as well, with interesting historical images, a bullet list of facts, and a selection of quotes from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

As of today, October 1, I’ve got 14 costumes to complete and photograph before my book is finished.   I’m anticipating a mid-winter release – if you join my mailing list, you will get the first notification of the book’s availability.

In the meantime – click on the link below and enjoy my handout!
