I started getting Edward R Hamilton bookseller catalogs when I lived in CA.
When I moved to Az. He found me in less than a month. I have moved several times and he always finds me in less than a month. When I ordered a quilting book the next catalog had lots of quilting books in it.
My quilting catalogs have found me too. In fact Im getting one now that I didnt before.
When you buy with credit cards they keep track of what you buy and the stores stock what most people buy that way. But I cant figure out why the stores cant stock the sizes that are most popular. Seems there are lots of super small sizes available but they are always sold out of the most popular sizes.
