Well, the info I gave below is *all* the info I have on this book. That 
is all the description that Amazon.com had. So, is the book worth $50? 
There aren't going to be recipes but are there interpretations given? 
If so, do they appear to be reasonable or contain modern foods or food 
items not known about then? What is *your* opinion of this book? Does 
it give any details on how a Merovingian feast might have been held? Or 
how food might have differed depending upon class?
