Tartan, you are correct about the free download when you buy String Frenzy. I found Bonnie by accident when I returned to quilting almost 9 years ago. Her annual free mystery quilt and free quilts throughout the years are wonderful, especially if you love scraps. I know she (and all authors/designers) makes much more selling through her website than if the item is sold through another company (online or at quilt store). But that is a good price through QIAD.

I saw this on QIAD yesterday but then life got in the way and I forgot about it. Fortunately I was able to use the link you provided and it gave me the sale price this morning. I've just spend two weeks cutting all my scraps into strips 1 1/2" so maybe I can use some of the patterns in her book.....otherwise I'll me making miniatures of her patterns!!

This is what I was told by another quilt book author. My understanding from what she told me is the designer and author of the book gets a lump sum by the publisher to write the book and then a % of each book sold. Even if the publisher sold thousands at a lower price to discount buyer, the author still gets her % of the books sold. They don't lose money when their book is sold at discount by the publisher.
They can buy their own books at discount, get the % of those books as profit and sell the books at MSRP and get more profit.

They could do that, however, it would be rather unethical and could put them in bad standing with their publisher and not able to get subsequent books published by that publisher. Also, although they could do this, they would have to put the time and effort into listing the books, packing them up and sending them off. Depending on how many books you are selling, that could entail considerable effort.

if you buy from Bonnie directly she is using the profits for her new retreat center Quiltville Inn. You also get your copy autographed and a PDF of Hunters Star, which isn't in the book. Although I'd be tempted if I didn't have all the Bonnie books- I'd buy direct from her just to help support her wonderful project.
