I just checked Acanthus Books. They have the set in stock for $30.00. 
According to the description (and I trust these folks...), "A 3-volume 
transcription of the complete original text of Elinor Fettiplace’s 
manuscript recipe book. An index is included. Produced from a 
transcription made by John Spurling, owner of the manuscript. Mostly 
household recipes, some culinary. 68 pages. Stapled softcover booklet. 
Import. Individual volumes available, please inquire."

So it looks good....
