LOVE her books! I have most of her other ones and looked at the new one at the bookstore, and it looks like a consolidation of her previously published works. So if you have the older ones, you are good, if not this is a great deal. I was obsessed with recycling shirts a couple years ago. I think I bought 100 and cut them all into 5" charms. I have thousands of charms (love my accuquilt)! I made several quilts from her books.
