You would be lucky to find it in a vintage book store and even if you do, you should expect to pay a hefty price for it. The collection is on a professionally made compact disk (CD). I am selling each of these books separately in my other auctions. As a collection though, I have reduced the price to give you savings of 33% if you buy them all together as opposed to separately. When you do the math, I've priced it so that each pattern costs about fifteen cents. Each pattern comes with detailed, easy to follow instructions. Other vendors on Ebay are selling similar items for at least twice the cost. Thanks to technology, this collection has been digitally reproduced and saved to a CD. All my reproductions are viewable on Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems, so you don't have to worry if they are compatible with your computer. You may ask yourself "What are the benefits of having a digital copy?". Well, here are a few: - Every page has been scanned to create clear images, meaning you never have to handle old, worn-out books that are falling apart - You can print out the patterns you want, as much as you want - The quality scans are at a high resolution – you can zoom in and out for as much detail as you want - The book is in PDF format and can be opened with Adobe Acrobat - a free and user-friendly application, which is available for free here Here are some of the things my customers have said in the past: Beautiful patterns, great seller, fast delivery, friendly and helpful, great value... If you are the winner of this auction, please add $4.00 for shipping and handling. Shipping on additional items is free. Please check out my other vintage hats, bags, accessories, doilies and afghan pattern auctions. Please keep in mind that the patterns are in color and sometimes the pictures do not do them justice. Many images appear in black and white because they were published so long ago. The page might take a while to load due to the number of images, but it's worth the wait.
