High priced Quilt Books
Can someone explain to me by some quilting book are going for over 200.00?
One example is "papercuts and Plenty by Elly Sienkiewicz. I though it might be a mistake but there are several sites that are selling it for over 200.00! This is not the only quilting book I have come across that is this outrageous. Would anyone here pay that? |

I'm pretty sure that book is out of print which is one reason it is so high.
She has another book that I would like to have, but it is also out of print, and I saw it on Amazon.com for $100. I'm not paying that much for a quilt book when I only want one pattern out of it. I'm making my GS a rocket quilt, and there is a papercut pattern in her book "Papercuts and Plenty" that she and Jan Davis designed. I have the pattern for the "Shuttle to the Stars" block, but no instructions. Sherry Starr "Azlighteningbug" wrote in message news:vCUPa.88$Ye.63@fed1read02...

The book is out of print. Amazon.com has a couple of listings for used
copies at $199(USD) and $249 (USD). I assume that the sellers have some reason to price that high. Are they really worth that much? I guess that is up to the person who wants a copy -- how much is she willing to pay?

Any chance you can get it at the library or on interlibrary loan?

I can't imagine paying that much for myself, but if I owed a quilter a really big favor, I might buy it as a gift. Might!! kaila |

Thanks all! I thought being out of print might have something to do with it,
but there is no way I would pay that much, unless of course I won the Powerball, LOL! There are so many great books and patterns available that I think I would try to find something else. But, that is what I would do - other people might feel it worthwhile. "Sk8eraunt" wrote in message ... Can someone explain to me by some quilting book are going for over 200.00?
