I really do not have that many books. I am a good one for taking it out at the library then taking it back. Hopefully, on time. I have gotten quite a few knitting books since I started knitting, almost a year ago now! Here is how I got so many books and I have not paid more than $9.95 for a single one!
For those knitters who are trying to get their hands on some great deals! I love books on knitting, who doesn't? You have to check out Zooba! You pay $9.95 a month and put your books on a wish list. They only charge $9.95 and that includes shipping. Here is the list of books that I have gotten from them.
Sensational Knitted Socks
Inspired Cable Knits: 20 Creative Designs for Making Sweaters and Accessories
Mason-Dixon Knitting: The Curious Knitters' Guide: Stories, Patterns, Advice, Opinions, Questions, Answers, Jokes, and Pictures
The Yarn Girls' Guide to Beyond the Basics
Bags: A Knitter's Dozen (A Knitter's Dozen series)
New Knits on the Block: A Guide to Knitting What Kids Really Want
Hot Knits: 30 Cool, Fun Designs to Knit and Wear
They also keep the list up-to-date with new releases. There is just more than knitting, cooking, kids books, etc.
I'll have to check out that book website.
I love those cute socks you made!

Ha ha! I'm a big library lover too! I hate paying full price for books! I'll have to check out this Zooba...

I'm so envious of all your wonderful Zooba books! Unfortunately, they don't offer their services in Canada :0(

Can I also recommend AC Moore coupons? There is a weekly coupon for 40% off any single item. The coupon is widely accepted by Rag Shop and Michaels. http://www.acmoore.com/showweeklyspecialcoupon.asp?ID=109
I have picked up several recent books in this method and usually around the same price.

Hi Dr. Purl - First off, nice website! I'm a fellow Sock Warrior and wanted to find out if you're still playing. There are a lot of people who are MIA, and for the moment that's what you're listed as. I hope you're secretly knitting to off your target (CelticDragon) because she's getting cocky and thinking she's invincible :) Check back into the forum if you haven't looked at it in a while: sockwars.forumup.com
