PoD Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) Just came across this really interesting book on Google books. Basically shows you just what was being imported and exported around 1713 and what customs charges you had to pay on it: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=9YQ7AAAAcAAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false Edited December 22, 2010 by PoD ...and then I discovered the wine...

PoD Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Here's another couple of books along the same lines from 1725 and 1728 respectively. A complete view of the British customs: containing the rates of merchandize, with the total net duties to be paid inwards, outwards, and coastwise, and the drawbacks upon exportation, all carefully calculated tho the twentieth part of a penny, Volume 1 and Volume 2 http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=h9ITAAAAQAAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=iNITAAAAQAAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false ...and then I discovered the wine...

PoD Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 hmmm, how to figure out how to print this in book format Thats what i plan to do. Probably cost a fortune in hand made linen laid paper but it will be worth it for effect. Just researching the binding techniques from back then and I can get a start on it. ...and then I discovered the wine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
