IMO, Scully relays some very useful info. Certainly better than Fabulous
Feasts. I bought 2 of his books at War and enjoyed reading them a lot. The
'errors' are obvious enough that most students of cookery will recognize them
at a glance. His chapter detailing a day in the life of Master Chiquart in
'Early French Cookery' is worth the price alone. 

As with any work dealing with any number of subjects Scully's are no worse and
in many ways far better than some of the trash that passes for 'scholarly'
tomes.  I recommend purchase. :-)
