I love my books! At this point I have so many that I can't justify spending money on more, BUT - I just got a wonderful hardcover book on strip-piecing at a garage sale for $1. And last weekend I found two quilting books at the thrift store for $2 each. I keep them on my shelves in alphabetical order, so that when I get home and find that I have three copies of one book it's always a surprise.
