Amazon has used copies http://www.amazon.com/Private-Life-Fifteenth-Century-Illustrated/dp/1555842704/ref=sr_11_1/104-9061854-3692729?ie=UTF8 <BR/><BR/>I found it invaluable for insights into every day life, the then current politics and most importantly getting the flow and cadence of the language (though obviously written words are more formal than spoken).Mia Zacharyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09581751782070739744noreply@blogger.com
