The absolutely excellent author is Fernan Braudel. I am afraid, I don't know about the quality of translation of his "Civilization and Capitalism, 15th–18th Centuries", 3 vols. (1979) English translation by Siân Reynolds.
The first volume is all about how they lived what ate, what put on, how and why travelled, and everything. This book was also translated to Russian.

Sometimes you can find very interesting information on the thematical historical books. History of prostitition, of woman, of family and so on.
