I've got it and like it OK.  It's not on my "must have" list, though.
It's fairly lightweight, not much in the way of bibliography or
footnotes, and a lot of the pictures are line drawings with no details
about what they're based on.  Nevertheless, it's not a bad read if you
want an overview of the subject.

Note that this (16th century English households and household
management) is one of my particular fields of extreme geekness, so I
have quite high standards in this case :)

Yours,

Katherine
