my pie in the sky wishlist at powells. really though, i can get more book elsewhere for cheaper so i'm all about the gift certificates! ;)
i'm not interested in making any money off of any of this, i just wanted to be able to post the book cover pictures because that's prettier and more interesting.
theoretically, i would get a comission off of any purchases through this site, but a) i'm not expecting a dime, and b) if i do get a dime, it'll go to a charity. which? not sure. if you have any ideas/inclinations, please tell me.
also, check out the following sites for (usually) cheaper prices: bookfinder.com, alibris.com, overstock.com, & bookcloseouts.com.
this was a great book i read a few years ago, when i was first getting interested in fiber arts, especially weaving, at that time. barber’s writing is detailed without weighing you down in the slightest bit – though an academic, she does not, thank goodness, write like one (or at least, like most of them) and instead makes this book not only inspiring to read but also very thought-provoking. reading this book will more than likely make you gasp, cry out, shake your head in amazement, and/or smile enormously and sigh with satisfaction.
yes, it’s that good.
