[Sca-cooks] Japanes cookbook

[Johnna Holloway]

I just thought that Ishige book ought to be mentioned. I am sure that a 
publisher
will want to know what makes a new title better or different than a title
that has already been published. Also in these tight economic times, 
libraries
that already own the Ishige volume may pass on a new one. Will it
be reviewed? Positive reviews in the right journals sell books and it takes
perhaps two years before the journals get the reviews published.
Of course the subject may be just perfect for a two volume Compleat 
Anachronist
in which case of course the price would be right and the audience at hand.
