That is a problem for me as I can look at a pic and design my own. Is that stealing a design? I just purchase books for ideas to make my own designs.

I do that also...if Amazon doesn't have it however, just google it and at least you'll be able to read about what is in a book...Naomi

I do this and THEN enter the data on my local library's website and request the book for free through interlibrary loan. Then I get to check out the WHOLE book for free before buying on Amazon.com. At $24-$29 bucks a book these days, I really gotta want it to buy it.
