Have I got the cut tag right? It's a very long time since I last used one... Re-enactors (rather like morris dancers) can sometimes end up as very skilled historians. Their wiliness to search though vast numbers of historical records in pursuit of accurate knowledge is a boon to anyone interested in these things.

I suspect I shall end up buying a number of books from Stuart Press. They publish all their work as staple-bound A5 booklets, and they obviously work on very tight margins as they don't take card payments (though they can handle bank transfers), but the research going into them...

eg. The cookery series encapsulates 8 years of research and experimentation by the team based on the examination of over 71,000 books published before 1660, over 20,000 will and inventories and a wide range of sources from archive papers to artefacts.

Everything is here - military, social, cooking, clothing, games, social mores, every kind of agriculture (several kinds of livestock, lots of kinds of fruit, cereal crops in vast detail, medicinal plants, aromatic plants (for strewing and in bedstraw), the lives of agricultural workers, cutlery (no forks in this era), several volumes on different cooking vessels, fish, cheese, salads.

And more!

If anyone living overseas wants any of these (and I can think of one or two of you who might want to know how to drill your pikemen, or learn all about pocket sundials, or to know how dining with the common people differs from dining in a great house....) I'm willing to work out a way of buying and mailing them to you if you're interested.
