I have the opportunity to purchase The Complete Book of Quilting by BH&G for $24.00---is this a book worth buying?

I have one and like it. Price seems high. On Amazon you can get a new one for $14, or used one for $7 plus shipping. It's the 2003 version.

I have the 2002 Edition and have used it quite a bit for referemce and ideas. Don't remember what I paid for it, but sounds like Amazon may have a better deal.

I agree with checking Amazon and also ebay for books. I have found some great buys on the spiral-bound, hard-backed Better Homes and Gardens books. I bought volume 8 and the Pink Ribbon Quilts for a total of $15, $7 was for shipping and handling.

just a hint. I take almost every book I buy to Staples and have them spiral bound. It usually costs $8.00. I think it is worth it to have the book lay flat.

Love this book, is my go to book for the basics

You can get it at joanns with a coupon for 11 bucks, just sayin

I get my books from my library and look them over before buying them. That way I know for sure I'm making a good purchase. I agree with the others, price seems high and it is a good book.

YES...It is my quilting BIBLE!! It has everything and it's the one i use all the time!!!!!!!

I have that one and many others and like that one the best. I like that there are photographs vs. drawings. It is my "go to" reference book.

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!

it is a good book, but that is way too much for it!

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

Thanks to you all for the info.

Thanks for all the input---will take your advise and try other sources.

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.

I am not familiar with this book, but i buy used quilt books on half.com and i am never disappointed. Amazon and Ebay are worth checking too
