Well Extreme Quilter, I have not looked through it myself. It is a quilt book. I believe the author is Gwen Marstan. She has written at least one perhaps two books since the Liberated Quilter and they are about strip quilting. Considering the title, I take it that it is not your traditional quilt instruction book.
Part of the reason it is so costly is because it is out of print. Beyond that I really don't know.
You did make me laugh when I read your note. Thanks for making me smile.
