Recently I borrowed this book from the library and loved it so much I just had to find my own copy. The book is out of print but Amazon marketplace had some, so I ordered from the dealer who advertised all proceeds to the Red Cross for Haiti relief. The listing said -good condition.

Could they have sent me the wrong book? I received a book in virtually brand new condition. On the flyleaf, handwritten, is this message: "This is the official first copy off the press won in a drawing of pre-purchasers held at the book launch, November 18, 1996 at the Vancouver Public Library." There's more, then the author's name and signature. HOLY COW!!! This is the official FIRST copy of this fabulous book!

Not only is this a great book, this particular copy is a real treasure. I can't imagine how it ended up in the hands of a used book dealer in such good condition.

Congratulations on a great find :!:

Wow! You are one lucky lady!

Well perhaps "they" knew it would be appreciated in your hands!

What a great treasure!!! :D:D:D

Lucky you!

That is so cool!

I took a dying workshop from Gail. I know many of the quilters featured in this book. This is a rare find. I am sooo jealous. I'm going to Amazon to look for one.

I`m in canada too and ordered from Chapters a used book and it came shipped from the us and was brand new also.
Yours is a real treasure!
Gale

Love it when something good happens to good people! Lace
