"For many years the [Hanseatic] league was seen as a positive force in
northern Europe. It stood up against the abuses of monarchs, stopped
piracy, dredged channels, and built lighthouses. In England, league
members were called Easterlings because they came from the east, and
their good reputation is reflected in the word 'sterling', which comes
from 'Easterling' and means 'of assured value.'"

"Cod: A biography of the Fish that Changed the World", Mark
Kurlansky*, Penguin Books, 1997, p. 26.

*well known author of "Salt"........or maybe not.

"Salt" was one of the best books I've read in a long time, and I look for
good books. Can't wait to get a copy of "Cod".

I found it for $6.99 in the bargain bin at one of the Harry Schwartz
bookstores. Schwartz is strictly a local Milwaukee organization, but
their stock is typically similar to that of the big chains.....B&N,
Border's.....so, you might get lucky at one of those.

The list price for my paperback copy was originally $14.
