I haven't asked Nancy or Kara about this, but I think when books are donated to the library, most people don't go out and buy them. I know her daughter in law told me that if they were in the library, it would really put them out of business. I work at a library, and I find that I use the quilt books, and if I really like them, then I go out and buy them. I also know that if you are teaching a class with one of her books, each student needs to have their own book. I would think if they were donated to a library, most libraries would put them in a book sale. These are just my thoughts. I will ask Kara or Nancy if you would like me to.
