New York: Sedgewood Press, 1989. First. Hardcover. New/New. Peter Peluso, Jr.. Beloved craft writer Leslie Linsley, who has published over 70 books on crafts, outdoes herself in this wonderful book on afghans. The "rainbow" in the title does not refer to afghans of 7 different colors, as each of the nearly 30 projects in this book can be made with whichever color the artist chooses. The book helps with the choice, by providing color illustrations of how each pattern would look with a few different color schemes. The book begins with over 30 pages of basics on both knitting and crocheting, introducing the beginner crafter to techniques, vocabulary, and helpful tips. Then come the projects: from the traditional Patchwork to the pretty White Aran to the striped and textured Jewel Lap Blanket. Each pattern is more beautiful than the last, and Linsley's instructions are easy and fun to follow.

New York: Audio Renaissance, 2007. Audio Book CD. No binding. New. Audio books can be quite difficult to find in all but the latest dime-a-dozen thrillers. We really like our tangible, we-own-it audio versions of our favorite books, that we can carry around as we listen, and replay from time to time. But unabridged audio books of good literature or worthwhile fiction are just scarce and expensive. That's why we were pleased to find Rhett Butler's People in this unabridged audio book edition - and it has 18 hours of play time on 14 cds! The book, of course, is the authorized sequel to Gone With the Wind. ABEDESC 18 hours of play time on 14 cds. Unabridged sequel to Gone With the Wind, authorized by the Margaret Mitchell estate. New, still in shrink wrap.

Good points about this particular copy include content that is complete and unblemished, as well as the decorative binding; at some point, this copy was rebound, from the original boards, with marbled papers and a leather spine.
