This evening I went to a nearby thrift store and bought 2 hardback quilt books for $9.21. The titles of the books are : Creative American Quilting by Better Homes and Garden and The American Quilt Story , The How to and heritage of a craft traditon (Step by step for 30 Antique Quilts) by Susan Jenkins and Linda Seward. I reallly like both books and thought they were in good condition and I thought they were a bargain!!!!!
So Quilters what have you bought this week that was a bargain?

An online book place is called ABE books. Most books are only a dollar but you do pay shipping. Also no discription of the books content.
Lots of used quilting books.
This site is a collection of used books stores that use Abe as a one stop shopping place for all kinds of books.

I buy from Hamilton also. It is great but sure takes a long time to go thru the cataloug. you get one about every week. He knows all about you too.
When I moved back to AZ he found me, then when I ordered a quilting book from Abes he started adding quilting books to the catalog. It is amazing how much the media knows about us.
