of her life and I am hoping to find loving homes for her books.
Please email me directly if you are interested in any of the following
books.
I am in the USA, accept Paypal and the usual forms of payment.
All are hardback books with dust jacket unless otherwise noted. All
lovingly used, some look like they were opened but once!! I would
guess that most of these books were purchased through the Embroiders
Guild of America and were used to complete one project only. Contact
me for specifics, I do have a digital camera and can take pictures.
All books have been stored on the bookshelf (no fading to covers) in a
non-smoking, non-pet home.
I am not a professional book reseller, these were my mother’s
books, and it is not my intent to misrepresent anything. If for any
reason you are unhappy with a purchase I will refund the price of the
book once it is returned. I have done my best to examine these books
and describe the condition accurately.
