There's not many super close to me, but we took a day trip to a few towns over.<br /><br />I got 4 from one store plus an additional/unrelated item for a total of $16.90!! what a deal! and their selection was amazing for a used book store! they're usually a hit for me with nonfiction so go figure :)<br /><br />Then from another store, I found a few unrelated books and 2 knitting books. The books were just general guides/pattern books. Tbh I was less impressed there, and the section was very poorly sorted (seemed like it had not been sorted by an employee in some time. my mother had a major issue with this as someone who used to work for a major bookstore chain, but I wasn't super bugged by it)<br /><br />here are the titles I've read from so far and find helpful/interesting/otherwise noteworthy (with stars next to the especially inspiring ones):<br />- The Joy of Knitting Companion: A Knitters Handbook by Lisa R. Myers<br />- Knitting for your Home: Afghans Pillows, and Accents by Nicky Epstein<br />- ☆ Alterknits by Leigh Radford ☆<br />- ☆ Yarn Bombing by Mandy Moore and Leanne Prain ☆<br /><br />Thanks for tuning in!<br />- Rin K<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=losttime3d&ditemid=627" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
