I have bought tons of them, mostly magazines but some books at garage sales. As far as I'm concerned, they never go out of style. mostly pay about .10-.50

Besides local suppliers, I order online when they are on sale or from AQS. As a memeber you get a pretty good discount when you buy multiple books. And. . . they sales are good.

I buy most of my books from Connecting Threads when they are running 40% off. I generally only buy the newer releases and not older books.

I get my quilt books from either JoAnne's with their 40% off coupon, or from the local quilt shop using their coupons. In Phoenix, we have 35th Ave and Northern Avenue quilt shop and we have Mulqueens Quilt Shop. They each have several locations to choose from. Only buy when I have a coupon, as other patterns are available for free from various internet quilting sites. from, Debbie

what a good deal to get all those books, you could always recycle the ones you do not want.....lucky me to have a half price book store in my town, i go there first, and get good quilting books for $2 to $6 each, depending on the author, how old the book is, etc.....if i cant find it there, my husband has free shipping with amazon.....i just hate waiting for the book to get here........gina

Harry, books are very expensive in Australia. Most soft covered quilting books are Starting at the $50 mark for books which I see listed in the States for $15. A lot of people use the U.K. site that I will list below for you to compare. There are a few others, but this seems to be the most popular amongst my crowd.Hope my info. is helpful to you - after all, we are a much smaller market than the Americas and Europe.
