[Sca-cooks] Odd Book

[Terry Decker]

>From your description, I assume that is "Trade and Banking..." rather than 
the much more interesting "Trade and Baking..."

> Picked up an odd book a while back and just got around to reading it, 
> "Trade and Baking in Early Modern England." Only the first chapter "The 
> rise of metropolitan markets" might be of interest to the list. It has a 
> map of England showing the "farming countries of England" and goes into 
> great detail about where things were raised and marketed and the movement 
> of cheese, cattle, sheep, and poultry in the 16th century. It talks about 
> what went by pack horse and from where, what went by wagon two wheeled and 
> four and what went by boat up canals. Fair amount of information on how 
> the mail was carried and money transported. All in all an odd little book. 
> The remaining chapters go into commercial credit, bills of exchange that 
> sort of thing.
