Sharing the (book) love

[flummoxicated]

I love you guys so much that I'm going to share one of my favorite places to get cool, cheap books: Edward R. Hamilton, Bookseller. Way low tech - mail order only, checks only. But I've found many great books there.

Yesterday I ordered: 18th century Embroidery Techniques ($16.95); The Sforza Hours ($7.95); Creating Your Own Jewelry:Taking Inspiration from Museum Masterpieces ($14.95); and a cool book about the rhetorical discourse on jest making in early modern England (probably I'm the only one into that sort of thing).

Some of you might enjoy Ottoman Embroidery ($13.95).

Shipping is $3.50 per order (it's been that cheap for years); catalogs are free, or you can search online, make an order form and send them a check. If they are out of your title they will refund your money. Sadly, they only ship to US addresses, but if there's something my peeps from outside the States want, let me know - I'll order it and send it to you, you can pay me via Paypal.

I try to only order a couple of times a year - it is crack. Like shop-from-home book crack!

So I really want the jewerly book, but can't find it on their website.

That's odd, I can't find it either, I wonder if they are already out of stock? If I manage to get a copy, do you want me to copy it for you, or scan and make some pdfs?

Actually, I found it on amazon, so I'm good. Thanks, thought!
