 > Thank you for your response to my inquiry. You stated that you would be willing to exchange a copy of your book for one of equal value. Following consultation with our librarian, the book we believe most likely to interest you and most equal in value to that which you have scribed is one written by Bonisagus himself, on the fundamentals of the Parma magica. If this would be of interest, then we would be delighted to exchange copies.

+> It will take us two seasons to produce an unbound copy of

+be available to study from starting in Summer 1218.  The Parma Magica book
