<blockquote type="cite"><b>Unto the populace of the
Ealdormere, from fra. Guillaume, greetings.<br><br>
I am posting this on behalf of Lord Alban, a friend from the
Midrealm.<br>
He has been digitally photographing rare and old books and is making<br>
them available via the blog for his online bookstore<br>
<a href="http://www.potboilerpress.com/" target="_blank">
http://www.potboilerpress.com</a> for a nominal cost. Most of these
were<br>
published or written comfortably before 1600. They include<br>
* Music books (Dowland, Morley plus a six-volume set of part-books<br>
(cantss, altus, tenor, bassus, quintus, sextus) with 250+ period
motets,<br>
by Giovanelli<br><br>
* Heraldic tomes (Bolton, Legh, Le Feron)<br><br>
* Pontificals<br><br>
* Contracts and other legal documents of interest<br><br>
* Processionals<br><br>
* Herbals / distillation / apothecarial recipes / cookbooks<br>
(Brunschwig’s Homish Apothecary, Gesner’s Newe Iewell of
Health)<br><br>
* plus many others.<br><br>
The whole set is somewhat over 50 gigabytes. The complete list
of<br>
titles is published at
<a href="http://www.potboilerpress.com/blog/.%A0" target="_blank">
http://www.potboilerpress.com/blog/. </a> He is only<br>
charging $3.50 per DVD, $2.00 per CD (for the shorter parts of
the<br>
list), plus $3.00 for shipping. Given the work that went into<br>
digitizing this collection and the value of the books, I believe this
is<br>
an incredible value. It's definitely worth having a look. I
plan to<br>
order a few DVDs shortly.<br><br>
Yours in Service to the Arts and Sciences,<br>

fra. Guillaume<br>
