*Unto the populace of the Ealdormere, from fra. Guillaume, greetings.

I am posting this on behalf of Lord Alban, a friend from the Midrealm.
He has been digitally photographing rare and old books and is making
them available via the blog for his online bookstore
 http://www.potboilerpress.com for a nominal cost.  Most of these were
published or written comfortably before 1600. They include
* Music books (Dowland, Morley plus a six-volume set of part-books
(cantss, altus, tenor, bassus, quintus, sextus) with 250+ period motets,
by Giovanelli

* Heraldic tomes (Bolton, Legh, Le Feron)

* Pontificals

* Contracts and other legal documents of interest

* Processionals

* Herbals / distillation / apothecarial recipes / cookbooks
(Brunschwig’s Homish Apothecary,  Gesner’s Newe Iewell of Health)

* plus many others.

The whole set is somewhat over 50 gigabytes.  The complete list of
titles is published at http://www.potboilerpress.com/blog/.
<http://www.potboilerpress.com/blog/.%A0> He is only
charging  $3.50 per DVD, $2.00 per CD (for the shorter parts of the
list), plus $3.00 for shipping.  Given the work that went into
digitizing this collection and the value of the books, I believe this is
an incredible value.  It's definitely worth having a look.  I plan to
order a few DVDs shortly.

Yours in Service to the Arts and Sciences,
--
fra. Guillaume
