Price Guidelines

The cost of any of the books is governed by four main factors:
1) Pre-print. This includes editing the text, setting dropped capitals and other typeface alterations
    -and also the preparation of illustrations

2) Printing costs. This obviously depends on the size of the book -but also includes the quality of the paper used

3) Sewing the book block. This is done by hand, and is very time consuming.

4) The actual binding. Bindings using wooden boards are more expensive than limp bound, as is an elaborate binding using high quality leather

PLEASE NOTE:
We do not hold a permanent stock of these texts. If you wish to buy one, then our preferred method of sale is to arrange for the book to be available at one of the Living History or re-enactment events where we will be working as “Pan’s Pantry”.
If you can notify us a month or so in advance, then we can prepare two or three versions for you to choose from.
