ESTC is the online version of
The English Short Title Catalogue. [ESTC access via RLIN] ESTC contains 
records for all types of items published in Great Britain or its 
colonies or in the English language from 1473 to 1800. Based upon and 
including the former Eighteenth-Century Short-Title Catalogue and the 
two short-title catalogues covering 1475-1640 (STC or Pollard & 
Redgrave) and 1641-1700 (Wing).

Catch my lecture sometime on either Elizabethan Cookbooks or The World 
of Early English Printed Books and it all gets explained.
