>I don't know if you have a Barnes and Noble Bookstore >near you, John, but I picked up a FANTASTIC book >there, on the bargain aisle, called 'The Pleasures of >the Torture Chamber', A History of Torture. There are >a few instances in it of more ancient methods, such as >some particularly nefarious devices used by Antiochus >Epiphanes/Epimanes, but most of the chapters are >Medieval/Renaissance in focus. The book itself is one >of those written a century ago that they reprint, >stick in a new binding, and sell for around $10.00 on >the discount aisle. I don't know if you can find this >book near you, or even if you have a B&N, but it >really is a great resource. Goes from the 'obvious' >methods such as the rack, iron maiden, and strappado, >to some of the more obscure, such as various thumb and >toe screws, and it's full of descriptions of torture >from observers and executioners. > >If you have a Barnes and Noble nearby, you might want >to check it out, and ask for that book by name. It's >a great value.
