Note: 

All books and patterns I am selling are from my personal collection. Some are new, some are gently used and may have a name written inside front cover or pencil writing for paint conversions. All are in good or excellent condition unless otherwise stated. Some books may have scuffing on the covers due to shelf wear or simply due to them being vintage books.
