Learn New Techniques Through Your Own Craft Library!
Good books and magazines are a must for
every crafter. Below is a list of books and magazines you may like to add to your craft library. I have tried to choose a little of everything, for the beginner and the expert, at the best prices I could find. I am sure you will be pleased with the shopping I've done for you. Please click on the title of any book you wish to order. There are two main categories: " Books " and " Magazines ". Each category includes subcategories to help make your browsing easy. The third category, " Keep Your Library Safe and Organized ", offers products that will help you do just that. I am adding to this library as I find interesting
reading material. It is a good idea to
bookmark this page and check back
often. In the case you should not find a title you are looking
for, or encounter a bad link, please notify (This page last updated September 4, 2002.
Many new books were added, as well as new categories!) Click on a topic to take a short-cut:
