It has not arrived yet, (naughty procrastinator that I am) and it likely will not be totally pristine. :( Was I Naughty? I bought it so that I could include several other fun things in the package...so maybe not too Naughty? :?

I love recycled books - they read the same as the new ones! I would be thrilled to get a book PLUS goodies!

I'm with moonpi here, just because it is not a "pristine-and-new-from-the-publisher" book doesn't make it a bad book. If it's in good shape, I would love a book plus my other gifties.

Thankfully no box yet to call my name ....

Mine should have arrived 3 or 4 days ago. I haven't heard anything, hopefully it made it in one piece.

It just arrived!!! I am amazed -- it looks very good!! OMG, so lucky. :) :) :) I am so excited! Remainder books are not actually used, they are simply either publisher overruns, or the publisher moves them out of their warehouse to brokers to make room for new titles. Some have shelf wear, etc. Some of the book brokers also sell second hand and out of print books, but they will say so, describing the condition. It is easy to find Remainder quilting books because they make and publish new titles so frequently.

Yippee!!! Now, off to package up the goodies!! :D :D :D
