For those of you who want but have not yet obtained a copy of Myrna
Stahman's peerless tome on method construction of Faeroese shawls with
matching "seamen's scarves" you might want to get while the getting is
good.
My copy (ex libris and decidedly on its last legs) literally
disintegrated on me earlier this week. I'll have it rebound but I
want a good clean unbroken copy so I went looking for a used copy and
discovered that USED are selling for anything from $40 up to as much
as $130. I used www.alibris.com - my usual used book locator;
www.abebooks.com and a couple of other used book search engines and
could not find a single copy for less than regular retail.
Neither of my LYS had a copy used or new.
A quick search of my usual suspect internet suppliers turned up goose
eggs until I called www.schoolhousepress.com I ordered two copies
(one is a gift, one for me!) and I have no idea how many more may be
on the shelf.
So get yours while you can, it would seem that Stahman is joining
Starmore as a collector's item.

Noreen, I looked quickly at Amazon.ca and found that they had a copy for
$131Can. While the Schoolhouse press copy was $30 US. Not bad at all.

Yep, $30US is the MSRP. Maybe there was some trendy Faeroese shawl
thing on that fluffy DIY knitting program that's suddenly driven this
book's used pricing into the stratosphere?

wooly the book I saw at Amazon.ca was second hand, and that means that
they can ask "the sky is the limit price" It does not mean they will get
it though. School house is selling sock they still had, or remnants etc.
They stay with what is reasonable. That makes total sense to me. They
want you to come back, as you are doing, because they are reliable. I
love bookstores like that. We have a good one here in the valley as well.
