Master John the Artificer from the Barony-Marche of the Debatable Lands in
Aethelmearc sells food grade Gold Leaf (and silver) in small quantities and
quite cheaply (relatively speaking). At Pennsic look for the Stave Church in
the Merchant Area, or look him up on the BMDL online domesday. A couple of
sheets cost me about 15.00 a while ago.
