I think you can sell books back to them, too, you used to anyway.

for quilt books you: click popular catagories, click home and garden, click crafts and hobbies, finally click quilts and quilting.
on the page that opens they have a book Id love (well, Id love a bunch of them!)- "The Prairie Girl's Guide to Life: How to Sew a Sampler Quilt & 49 Other Pioneer Projects for the Modern Girl" by Jennifer Worick. also, next page: "Quilter's Country Christmas: More Than 50 Projects to Make Your Home, Gifts, and Decorations Extra Special for the Holidays by Leslie Linsley. Id love that one too. Theyre both 3.48$ each, free shipping.

Im really bad about books, even worse than collecting fabric! sharet
Great site . I like the idea of recycling books. The site I put up doesn't sell books it just tells you the cheapest place. I randomly picked a book

The cheapest on iwantabook was 19.19 with shipping. They do not however have the betterworldbooks listed so I will add that to My list of places to check. Thank you for listing that one.
