Bargain Knitting Books

...more books for your bucks!

Please Read!!

Bargain Books are new, unread books that the publisher sells-off in volume to reduce excess inventory. Sometimes the publisher printed too many copies, in other cases bookstores purchased too many copies and have returned them to the publisher for credit. The books therefore have been handled a few times but are still in excellent condition.

The publisher may place a mark on the edge of the book to identify it as a Bargain Book. This ensures the book will never get returned again to the publisher for credit. In most cases the mark is a small line or dot.  Some books do show  some shelf wear.  This does not affect the book itself but the outside cover may show some signs of just having been on the shelf.  All in all a fantastic deal.  

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us!

Spend less on books means....More money for yarn! Enjoy!
