there are 31 for sale on amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...rbara+Brackman

they sell for about $75.00. This is a large, thick, book and not far off its original selling price. My LQS bought it years ago and would not resell it at any price. Its a great resource book.

Thanks, Chester! This is one of the few quilting books that would be good in electronic format (well, imho)

There is also a CD version of the book called "Block Base". Available from Amazon.

I have Block Base and it takes forever to find anything. Same with the book. LOL I get the same result faster searching for a particular block or style of block online.
I have the newest version of Windows and Block Base program works fine with it. Have to left click run in different version if downloaded or use directly from CD.
