Tradition in evolution.

Some of my favorite books are long out of print. If your local bookstore or favorite fiber art supplier can't get an out-of-print title, try searching online or borrowing it through interlibrary loan.

If you decide to buy books I recommend, making your purchase here helps me earn a little money to put toward the cost of maintaining this site and my blogs -- thanks!
