Do you happen to have a couple books that have eluded me?

Douglas's Encyclopaedia : a book of reference for bacon curers, bacon factory managers, bacon agents, meat purveyors, meat inspectors, meat salesmen, abattoir superintendents, city, county, or local authority officiers, cold store proprietors and managers, sausage and pork pie makers, and all other industries associated with the meat, pork, provision, and general food trades / compiled and published by William Douglas & Sons Limited.
London : W. Douglas, London [between 1901 and 1907] About 400 pages.

Hard copies can be found, at ridiculous prices, I'm hoping to find a digitized version.

That's a very cool foldout. No wonder originals are pricey. No, I find no digital copies of either, yet, although, in the US at least, both books are pre-1923, so in the public domain.
