I went to The Embroiderers Guild Destash Sale. Tracey and Genevieve from GR had stalls. The Guild must have been clearing out parts of their library as there was a room full of books. I picked up around 12 @ $2 each, many too old for ISBNs. All on Embroidery and patchwork.
Prior to that I dropped into an op shop and purchased
The Devotion of Suspect X -$2.49 I've read this one and wanted to own a copy. A new favourite author.
The Matchmaker of Périgord $2.99
Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker $2.99
