You Might Be Irish if.....

Do you know Dover? They publish really cool books for artists and craftspeople. I found this beauty at the thrift store. It might still be in print.

Book Deal for Fashionistas

If you collect books on fashion this is a MUST HAVE. I stumbled across this on the bargain rack at Barnes and Noble for a mere $19.98. This sells for nearly $60 used on Amazon.com. So, get yerself over to B&N and drop a 20 for over 700 pages of glorious fashion with up close and personal photography. Ah, the details!
