[h-cost] may be OT: Help selecting a book
Hi all I have some birthday money and I'm debating between buying Tak V Bowes Departed (fingerloop braiding) and Jaqui Carey's book on Sweet Bags. What do you think? I think both are under my $100 limit, even with the pound to dollar conversion rate plus shipping.

You might be able to get both if you click on the extra links in your searches for the books on Amazon. Sometimes someone is selling one out of their shop linked on Amazon for half the price or less. But if you must choose, go for the one that has been out of print the longest cause you may never find it again.

And don't forget abebooks.com for used books. They have dealers all over, including the UK, and you can have the book search sort by price. Ann Wass In a message dated 8/11/2010 3:41:28 P.M.

Julie My vote is for Tak V Bowes. These are the clearest, easiest to learn from instructions for fingerloop braiding that I've come across so far. This is one book where I think you should have a new/good copy in your library and a second copy in your workroom. I bought the book as soon as it came out a few years ago and I love it. I will probably buy a second copy soon. I highly recommend it. The book is self-published by someone I think may be on this list. I recommend buying a new copy and supporting the author. I believe we should encourage those among us who have knowledge, talents and skills to take the chance and publish their collected wisdom and information in formats the rest of us can enjoy and use well into the future.
