A lot of them have; I saw your post and did a brief Web search for
appropriate online bookstores, and came up with nothing. I recently
bought a copy of the book in question at  a local bookstore which
specializes in obscure cookery-related texts. They immediately replaced
it with a couple of new copies on the shelf. I might be able to either
discover where they got it, or get a copy for you. As I recall it was
rather expensive for me (~$58 US) but was worth it for its information
value and the fact that I was standing there with it in my hands. I
suppose this is why they tell us never to go food shopping while
hungry... .

I'd say Lambert is a trustworthy source overall; she is the editor of
"Du manuscrit a la table", and actually has written comparatively little
of the contents of the book, which is a series of articles by other food
historians, including Hieatt, Scully, Grewe, Millham, Santich, and others.

If it would help, here are the address of the publishers/distributors on
both sides of the Atlantic:

_OR_

Hope this helps,
