I have this book. My aunt Connie bought me this book for my birthday and it is for sure ... the quilting bible. She wanted one so bad that I bought her one for mothers day

This was one of the first quilting books I bought. I go to it all of the time. It is a wonderful resource. I bought mine at Joann's with a 50% off coupon. If you can't find that deal then definitely go to Amazon or Ebay.

I would say it is worth $24 maybe more but I would not pay that much for it.

That is a great idea!

If it is the newest updated edition then it's a very good price. The older editions are cheaper.

Agree. I checked this out at the library, then got lucky, my sister gave me a copy. It is a great book, but the 24$ is more that you need to pay. So many options such as Amazon and Joann with coupon.
