I bought my copy of Principles of Knitting when I was a poor, poor college student and at $35 new it was a gigantic splurge for me. To this day though I have been so thankful that I went ahead and did it. I have wanted to buy copies for gifts lately (for my newbie knitter friends) but noticed that it's not around.
Delia, i read somewhere the book was worth $600.00 sure glad i have mine.As a matter of fact i had 2,gave one to a friend,i was given both as a christmas gift.years ago.
