I'm looking forward to the ark and guitar too. I wouldn't worry too much about the reading set. I found one on eBay for a decent price, but I don't think it's worth paying a pretty penny for. The inkwell and feather are still available, and the hornbook is pretty much a piece of wood with the paper tacked on - you could probably make one yourself. The copybook is pretty much the same. If you know someone who has one, you could photocopy the written stuff and make one yourself.

I do wish they would bring back the Town Fair outfit. It is one of my favorites, but I refuse to pay $150 for a doll outfit. I don't even pay that much for one of DD's outfits [img]eek.gif[/img]
