Regency England: Links to Reference Books
A Twitter buddy mentioned she'd been hunting forRegency reference books, so I promised to post some that I own. Please note that some of these are expensive, and a great deal of information can be found on the web. I've been collecting these books for several years. You may also be able to get the used versions on Amazon, B&N or Abe books. Also, don't forget to check with your local Indie stores or libraries. Here are some of the reference books in my collection.
