I am happy to tell you not in the entire world :-)
Here in Germania is a man who makes fine reproductions of artefacts from Ancient
Egypt, the Bronze Age, Rome and up to the time of the Vikings.
He makes a beautiful pair of lares cast in bronze, made from an original. They
are about 7.5 cm high and cost about
$ 75 ( or DM 145,- ).
I am not sure if he does business overseas but I will give anyone his address
who wants to inquire.

For some reason, JBL refuses to warehouse items for any length of time. They
feel that they have to move pieces immediately or they're not worth having.
(Unless of course they're Hindu statues!) They create several new pieces each
year, but if a statue doesn't sell out completely in it's first six to eight
months it's dropped from their product line. They put the statues on discount
to get rid of them, and offer them at even lower prices to shops "in bulk" to
clear out space for new lines. I think the only way these folks would have
kept their Lars and other Roman pieces would have been if everyone in NR
ordered one or two statues a week! :P
They'll probably keep a Roman goddess or two since they're really into
Goddess Spirituality. They'll also probably continue to market another one or
two Greco-Roman statues as "Celtic". (Their "Triple Bridget" statue is of
course a Roman Hecate statue for instance...)

Yeah...I got them at a discount...$29 for the pair.

Great! Let us know when you have one. I'm not a fan of JBL's stuff anyway.

Has anyone here read "Myth, Cult and Poet: The Performative Context of the
Homeric Hymn to Hermes"
by Sarah Iles Johnston?
I was told that it was a book, but practically every employee of the Barnes
& Noble bookstore at BU who had access to a computer last night was unable
to find it in their system, which supposedly contains every book in print.
I suspect that it may be an essay published in a journal. It is probably
fairly recent, published within the last six months or so.
I'll be searching for this on my own, but...
If anyone has suggestions on where to find this work, please let me know
right away. I have to have it in my paws no later than Tuesday.

If anyone started looking for that book, they can stop now. There is no
such book, it's the title of the theme for an upcoming discussion group
relating to the book "Restless Dead : Encounters Between the Living and the
Dead in Ancient Greece", which doesn't make much sense to me right now, but
that's what the secretary of the Classics Dept. said.
Does anyone know where I can download the Homeric Hymn to Hermes in English
translation?

Ave Gaius Marius Merullus,
The "Homeric Hymn to Hermes" you're looking for can be found here: <A
HREF="<a href="http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/text?lookup=hh+4.1&vers=Loeb&word=h" target="_top" >http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/text?lookup=hh+4.1&vers=Loeb&word=h</a>

hermesomeric Hymn</A> (be careful of the word-wrap). It's a bit difficult to
utilize as it's broken into smallish parts, but the site does include
supplementary information. There are doubtless other sites featuring this
work that are easier to navigate, if informationally less dense.
