Sell me your Bra-Makers Manual?

I'm looking to buy a used copy of the Bra-Makers Manual by Beverly
Johnson. Please let me know if you have a copy you could part with.

Thanks.

I see one on eBay for $75!! Yikes! I make panties, but haven't been able
to make a decent bra yet. Do a Google search for "bra making", maybe you'll
find some helpful information.

No kidding on the price. Ouch! I'm sure hoping someone has one
they'll sell at a reduction. I've googled all over and haven't found
anything cheaper yet...

I meant Google for bra making techniques etc., not that particular book
(unless that's the only one you want). When I was trying to make bras, I
found quite a few websites that had lots of useful information.

Have you tried some of the used book sellers? Like abebooks, alibris,
powells - do a google on "used books" and you will find several

I've never heard of this book. Are there any reviews of it?

Well, here's the website for the book itself and its author. (Take a
gander at some of the bras in the gallery, made by readers. Zowie!)

My understanding is that it's used as a textbook at fashion schools in
lingerie courses. There is other literature too, but I'm thinking it's
what I want. Don't know about reviews. It doesn't appear to have an
ISBN, so it might not technically be officially published. Hmm, maybe
textbook stores at fashion schools have used copies at reduced
prices...

Yeah, I think that is probably going to be your best bet. Textbooks
don't usually make it to half.com.

(Not to mention stuff on half.com should be called twiceorthrice.com)

Try half.com and Hamilton Books (they have a web site, but I don't know
what it is.)

But I won't ever part with the one I bought from Lee-Anne Burgess, so I
hope you find one.
