Yours in service, Devra the Baker Date: Sat, 19 Jun 1999 09:38:15 -0400 From: Ian Gourdon Subject: SC - Books Likely you're all familiar with these people at Prospect Books, but they're a new one for me. I read their commentary on how they came to be, and they sound like a good source for cooking books, especially the slightly post period works. They do have an Ordinance of Pottage, and a few others, though. http://dialspace.dial.pipex.com/town/lane/kal69/fullind.htm#Prospect Books: Full Index - -- Ian Gourdon of Glen Awe - - Companion of the order of the Greenwood Company http://web.raex.com/~agincort Date: Sat, 19 Jun 1999 10:21:01 EDT From: Acanthusbk at aol.com Subject: Re: SC - Books See the Acanthus Books website for Alan Davidson's essay _The Prospect Behind Us_, about the history of Prospect Books and the culinary journal Petits Propos Culinaires, at http://www.acanthus-books.com/acanthus-books/thep.html Acanthus discounts all Prospect Books titles.

I've only ever seen the first edition, does anybody here know anything about the second?
