The Artillery of the Dukes of Burgundy, 1363-1477 (Boydell Pres, 2005): The introduction to this book is a master class on how to succinctly set up a current state of research in a way sweeping across centuries and subjects. I love this book’s focus, beyond the Dukes’ art. 🇫🇷🏰🔥

This is a really insightful article. 💎

Book Review #1: ‘Glossy’ by Nina-Sophia Miralles (Hachette, 2021). A true page turner that dives into the CN empire’s birth, its forays in Europe, and downright cut-throat publishing politics. Vogue, way before, beyond (and including) Anna. I read it in one weekend. 9.5/10 👠📖
