Sweater 101 Hardbound

A BIT OF A CAVEAT . . . I thought I had sold out of the Hardbound book but I found a box of 16 copies I had set aside with minor imperfections like a little wrinkle on the opening page or a smudge of glue on the cover I could not get off. As of today, July 3, the cheapest used one you can get on Amazon is $137.90. I do not like this but it's out of my hands.

Meanwhile, I refuse to scalp my own books. I dropped the price of these barely bruised books to $30 and upped the shipping to $6 which is, to the penny, what it costs for a box plus the postage. When the 16 copies are gone, this edition is officially out of print. Thanks, ch
