Gwynydd,

Perhaps some of the gentles here can suggest book dealers that do 
mail order and will accept personal checks or money orders.  I think 
Poison Pen Press does so (Devra, jump in here if I'm wrong.)  I 
understand your feelings about redaction -- I am in the midst of making 
the transition from being a "recipe cook" to a novice redactor.  I would 
second the notion put forth by others here that you get hold of a book 
like _Pleyn Delit_ or _The Medieval Kitchen_ which has the original text 
followed by the author's redaction.  And in addition to the wonderful 
Miscellany, there are many other redacted recipes on the web.  Many 
are in the Floriligeum, and on web pages which are listed at:
