I just wandered over from AO3 where I read your Heian age fics (I'm still stunned that such things exist! Heian age fics! The world is a little bit closer to perfect, methinks.) I noticed there, in the comments, that you mentioned Ivan Morris' book having mistakes, and here's the same again... so the stuff about marriage customs is wrong? What about otherwise, are there many other mistakes? It's been my primary source of Heian age knowledge, is all.
I've been meaning to reread the Pillow Book. Seems like I need to get myself Meredith McKinney's translation (I've got the Morris one, though mainly just because the book was so beautiful. I can't resist beautiful books.) ...and I see a bunch of books in the end of this post I need to read some day, too...

Oh, and, I just about have to add you.
