The book finally arrived at the library and I have seen the copy. At  
first glance, it looks very good, perhaps even a model for
a work that describes the historical foods and foodways of a specific  
place. Comprehensive bibliography.
It is not a cookbook, so don't loan it in expecting hundreds of recipes.
Best price seems to be $221 USD, so yes it's very expensive.
