Just a thought for everyone -- when books are posted for sale here, I type the book name on Amazon.com. Sometimes Amazon.com will allow a free "preview" (a "look inside") of some of the pages. This allows me to get an idea of some of the projects in the book to see if I want to buy it from here!

Good idea

Thank you so much for the tip.


;-) debra ;-)

Thanks for the tip :):):)

I love that about Amazon, and also Connecting Threads lets you look inside a book.

good idea - thanks.

Didn't know that, thanks.

Actually, Connecting Threads usually has MORE pics in their previews! I usually go there first, then to Amazon.

I also check amazon and Connecting Threads.

CT practically gives away the entire contents photo-wise.

Great tip!! Thank you for the suggestion. :thumbup: :thumbup:

yep, and connectingthreads.com does too.

Thanks for the tip. I often wonder if the picture on the front of the book will be the only quilt I like.

Google also has book previews of the contents.

yes, I do that also, thanks for posting this tip with everyone

Never thought of that. I do it with music...THANKS :lol:

Thank you for sharing this little tip.

I do that too!

Here too you can see what's in the book.

That's what I do. Makes me sure I want the book.

Great tip.

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

Connecting Threads also has great book sales....one is going on right now. And they have a great preview of the books.

Did know you could do that on Amazon...will try it out, thanks for the tip.

Thank you for the tip.

Connecting Threads does too!

Thanks for the tip

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.

Welcome from northern
Indiana. Thanks for the tip.
I didn't know that. Hugs, Sharon

Thanks for the tip: Always like to see in the inside and check it out first:

I do the Amazon and local library thing.

What I like about Amazon is all the people who review books. Many times the reviews will determine IF I purchase a book - new or used.

Wonderful idea! Thank you!

I do think we should pay others for their work.

And a lot of timees Amazon is a lot cheaper

nice tip

What a wonderful Idea!
