*sigh* I got to get me a copy of Tusser. I had a reprint checked out of the UTK library for many moons (gotta love "continual renewal")

That is awesome. I need to take a better look at Tusser too. Do you have an ISBN for a readily available copy? Is it in Facsimile or translation?

Unfortunately, the Tusser I have access to (more or less clandestinely) is pre-1950 and so has no ISBN:

Thomas Tusser, 1557 floruit, his Good points of husbandry, collated and edited by Dorothy Hartley.
Publication info: London, Country life limited, [1931]
Physical description: 194, [2] p. incl. illus., facsim. col. front. 26 cm.
General note: In verse.
General note: In this 1931 reprint the text of the 1571 edition has been followed. Verses from other editions have been inserted when they show changes. The original edition, 1557, with title "A hundreth good pointes of husbandrie", is reproduced in facsimile (p. 25-48)
General note: "The editions of Tusser's books": p. 10-11.
