This book is annoyingly expensive.

I need a less expensive general medieval textbook. Or a more targeted, but still general, social history textbook for the period (class is: Work and Family in Medieval and Renaissance Europe).

Sheesh, $70 seemed par for the course when I bought textbooks in university.

What about something by the Gieses, or the History of Private Life? Too dated? Not textbooky enough? I have Cantor's Medieval Reader and it's fun, but I guess it's also just not textbooky enough, huh?

It's a really small paperback textbook. There's just no excuse. This isn't a big glossy contraption ... or it wasn't anyway.
