Hi Caitlin,

It's a little Cheaper on Amazon for Pre-order right now $150 & Change ( at the Moment) both amazon.com & amazon.ca Seems to be the kind of thing, "the Historian in me" is looking for. Hoping the $$$ will come down some more.

Maybe it'll be more affordable as used in a couple of years. Or would some library get it?

Looks very interesting, but is in the "work books" catagory of pricing, rather than the "read for fun books"!

You have to spend $249 to get Amazon's version of BillMeLater, so I will have to wait awhile too. But maybe I could read someone else's copy at the next ruckus. This looks like the pearl book I have wanted to read for almost a decade!

Are there any reviews of this book yet? Hope there are lots of photos!

The Book is now on sale at Amazon.com for $129 & Change. Price is best I have seen so far.


Price has gone up on amazon.com $148.31 USD. 22% off list price of $190.00 USD when last I checked 9/24/12 Looks like I missed the better price "window". On that note, decided to get some well needed beading supplies instead.

Really hoping someone has this book & would be willing to give a review. Pretty Please?
