Yeah, what syele said - she showed me her copy. It's in Danish with English paraphasis. However, the translation is a little idiosyncratic, so you'll want to read it carefully.
IMO it's on a level with the Medieval Tailor's Assistant: good information if your filter with extreme care; great pictures; insufficient documentation; written more for the "popular enthusiast". For example, one of her cutting diagrams is based on Norlund #39/40; she acknowleges that the Greenland garment is 14th century but does not offer much by way of explanation why a 14th century garment is relevant to a 10th c. garment.
I think she knows more than she's stated in the book: I was left with many more questions than answers.
