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).

Have you considered compiling your own textbook?

McGraw-Hill offers a custom textbook service called Primis Online. This text is one of their offerings, so you could pick and choose the parts of it you want, blend it with other things from other texts they offer from their database, and sell it.

Check out: http://www.primisonline.com/cgi-bin/POL_page.cgi?page=newindex2.html&context=pol

History is under "Humanities and Social Sciences".

A number of other educational publishers (like Bedford/St Martin's) also offer similar services.

I'm so not ready to do that right now. Maybe next summer or if I get a grant to do it.

But yes, I'm aware of the option. :)
