[Sca-cooks] Historic Cookbook Vendors

[Elaine Koogler]

The best source I have found for books of any sort is www.addall.com.  
This is a place where you type in the name (or author, ISBN or keyword) 
of the book you are looking for.  They then search their sources and 
give you a listing, with prices, of the sellers who have your book, 
ordered from cheapest to most expensive.  For example, I typed in 
"Medieval Cooking" as a keyword.  One book I had returned was  Food and 
Cooking in Medieval Britain (Food and Cooking in Britain).  The cheapest 
price was from ABEBooks, and was $9.03 including postage.  You do get 
better responses if you know the name of the book...I looked up Curye on 
Inglysch, and found that Barnes and Noble.com have it for $30 including 
shipping...List price is $39.95 plus shipping, so this isn't bad. 

Hope this helps!
