Knitting Reference Library

This is my own reference library for knitting. I used the TKGA Reference Bibliography as a guideline. Most of the books were purchased on eBay; I tried not to pay too much, but I admit I did get stung a couple of times. I still like the process of using eBay, and I also used Amazon but much less often, with the one caveat: know what you are looking at before you bid or buy. I always checked for the current price at Barnes and Noble, and I also checked the Library of Congress for publishing information including ISBN and publication date. This information helps in knowing that you are getting what you pay for. I also choose not to buy "New" but also not to buy below "Good." I was fortunate that all of the books I received looked like new, with no marking, torn pages, or marks of abuse.

As an aside, after buying many of my books, I discovered another TKGA list, much shorter, that I wish I had found earlier. Lucky I am a book lover by nature or I could have been very unhappy. Good luck!
