A new edition of Caerdroia is available. Orders are now being taken for immediate delivery.

Our 36th edition contains 68 pages packed with the usual mix of in-depth studies and the latest labyrinth reasearch, including two important items on the little known labyrinths in India. Evidently, more discoveries await in the Indian sub-continent, and new chapters on the history and distribution of labyrinths in this region will need to be written.
