SC - FW: Fields of Gold information

[Laura C. Minnick]

Greetings

1 - After checking www.bookfinder.com/  I found _Du Manuscrit a la Table_
at
www.foodbooks.com/ for $45 + S&H.

2 - I was just in London:

The British Museum has a cook book with Medieval Welsh recipes called The
British Museum Cook Book.  The Museum was undergoing major reconstruction
(destruction).  Everything is disorganized! The gift shop is outside, but
the bookstore is inside to your immediate left at the end of a corridor.
Be sure to see the display on 5,000 Yrs of Textiles, the book is on sale
for L 25 from L 35.  Other books may interest you depending on your
persona's country and period.

(If you enter and go to the right you'll end up in the King's Library --
be sure to see the Lindesfarne Gospels!  Be sure to ask a Librarian if you
have a specific title in mind you want to research. 

If you go to the 2nd right you will end up in the kiddie bookstore.  They
have a great series of British coins from Claudius to Elizabeth I.)

3 - I bought 14 cookery books at Hampton Court, and there were several
that were display only (out of stock).  If you do a day trip GO TO
Hampton Court!  The largest book store is next to the admission/ticket
booth.  The little bookstore is in through the Wine Cellar in what was the
buttery.  They had 23 cook books from Roman to Victorian times.  I should
have brought more money and a wheelbarrow.  Fortunately, my husband, son
and sister helped me carry them.  The Tudor Kitchens were perfect, Hampton
Court was perfect.  I can see why Henry VIII went there for his honeymoon
again and again and ....

4 - I spent 2 days looking through the bookshops in St Martin's Court.
This area is off Trafalgar Square and was previously mentioned --
Charing Cross is the closest tube station.  St Martin's Court is also a
haven for stamp and coin, and print sellers.  I found a complete set of
the 500 Anniversary of College of Heralds' stamps and victorian vegetable
prints and a small beat up book of victorian recipes, a charity thing w/
soup kitchen recipes, nothing period. St Martin's church is right there.
They have free organ recitals at 1pm and a basement/crypt cafe open from
11am to 8pm. Dinner is L 6 for curried salmon or lamb w/ lentil stew.
(The national portrait gallery is directly across the street.
I checked out the portrait of Richard III -- he does NOT have a hump.
If you get tired of books there's another museum next door w/ Rembrant's
Night Watch and various Picassos. At Trafalgar Square you can actually
look for books AND be a tourist.)

Penguin Books has a huge store w/ every book they ever published.  I can't
remember which street -- it's in the phonebook.  I didn't see any cookery
books, but their section on medieval Lit was beyond belief.

Way OOP:
For SF & F I wwent to The Forbidden Planet, Oxford St in Bloomsbury. It's
25 minutes from the British Musuem.  Anne McCaffrey's "Cooking
Out of this World" has been reprinted w/ recipe corrections.  I just saw
they had a magazine ad for "Dining on Babylon 5", Boxtree Publishing,
which is not available in the US. :-(  (I find out after I come back)

Enjoy
