The editors of "Revaluing Renaissance Art" (ed. Rupert Shepherd &
Gabriele Neher, Aldershot (Ashgate), 2000, ISBN 0 7546 0169 2) are
pleased to announce that they are able to sell all remaining copies of
the book for GBP 15 + postage and packing. This represents a significant
saving over the original list price of GBP 57.50, and is due to the
