Out-of-Print Books
These books are occasionally available as used copies and are well worth owning. BraidersHand occasionally acquires used copies, which will be offered for sale when available. If you prefer not to purchase a copy, check your local or university library. If you find that online used-book prices are very high, keep checking, as availability and prices fluctuate regularly.
