I just wanted to inform the list that the Middle Kingdom Scribes' Handbook was recently approved by our Curia Regis, so it is now official. There will be links to it from the Middle Kingdom website, but for now you can still get to it via RandyAsplund.com It will also be available through the Middle Kingdom Information Office. Minor errata have been corrected since I first published it on the website, and two new children's' award texts have been added. For those of you who are not in the Middle Kingdom, I think you will find that this has something for you as well. There are quite a lot of scribal technique pages.

Thanks in advance for the help.
