toward fashion. Whether you are interested in<br />

Margins by Margot McIlwain<br />
Nishimura. 2009. 96pp. 7"x 9".<br />
Hardcover $19.95<br />

mundane, playful, absurd and<br />
monstrous beings, called<br />
marginalia, are found in the<br />
borders of English, French, and Italian manuscripts<br />
from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.<br />
Unpredictable, topical, often irreverent, marginalia<br />

and amusement for medieval readers. Through<br />
enlarged full-color details and a lively narrative, this<br />
volume brings these intimately scaled and<br />
fascinating images to a wider audience. 84 color<br />
