Thanks for the heads-up on these. I have been getting the Jessica's  
Biscuit's flyers and email, but I often don't have time to look  
through them to find the food history books. That, and the fact that  
they were a threat to my pocketbook, especially when I was unemployed.

The saffron book doesn't appear to be on the "free" list anymore.  
This one, right?
"Essential Saffron Companion". So I ended up buying it anyway and got  
this one as the free one:
"Catfish and the Delta : Confederate Fish Farming in the Mississippi  
Delta"
I wonder how the recent hurricane will effect catfish farming in that  
area now, though.

I notice that they also have at least one book on Dutch Oven cooking.  
That was a recent subject on this list.

Another one, which I got, which was also talked about here was the  
"Basque History of the World". Not a closeout, but...

And this one, "Caviar : The Strange History" might also be of interest.

There's probably more of interest as well. But since they only give  
one free book per order, no matter how much you buy, I decided to  
stop looking and place a second order later. See, that is why this  
site is dangerous to my pocketbook.:-)
