These are all available through an online website for Old English manuscripts, that appears to only be available while you are physically at the library. So, it looks like I still need to get there. Its riduculeous, I live about 3 miles, at most from these great research libraries, and am regularly within 1/2 a mile, and I still can't manage to actually get there. *sigh*

The soapmakers one looks fascinating!
The collection you have access to at the library sounds like the EEBO (early english books online) collection. It's exactly the same as the microfilm that I use, cept that you get PDFs instead of having to laboriously print the fuckers.
I'm going to be heading librarywards myself this week, I think, and I will at *least* get the one on stain removal.

Date: 2003-08-04 07:42 pm (UTC)The Tusser book mainly caught my eye because it has a month by month calender and I am always curious about "If I was alive then, what would I be doing this month?"
I really need the libraries to stay open longer hours on the weekends, maybe I might be able to get there tomorrow.... What I really need is not to have a full time job so I can stay at home, do research, sew and write the novel AND the historical costumming book that I want to write.

Here are some Tusser quotes and stuff:
