The covers were so beautiful (just like the ones you found) with their graphic patterns and neat color combinations that I am now saving them for a special design project. They are so much prettier than a Kindle!Yvonne Blackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11513727390357393110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087985679708902082.post-36138898902220552472010-02-19T16:47:23.344-05:002010-02-19T16:47:23.344-05:00Debra-I just checked the website...I am so tempted...Debra-I just checked the website...I am so tempted to order this...thanks for the tip!Acanthus and Acornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603547994268012876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087985679708902082.post-76276123664306872162010-02-18T22:32:34.822-05:002010-02-18T22:32:34.822-05:00I love that collection... it's very decorative...I love that collection... it's very decorative... have a nice one!Punctuation Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14659854576793753720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087985679708902082.post-29233541003996846542010-02-18T16:14:15.943-05:002010-02-18T16:14:15.943-05:00thanks! yes, it's barry dixon!!!!thanks! yes, it's barry dixon!!!!cotedetexashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421509668956556785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087985679708902082.post-28248066977619006742010-02-18T08:20:46.343-05:002010-02-18T08:20:46.343-05:00Don't even get me near a bookstore, you have t...Don't even get me near a bookstore, you have to drag me out crying.TSL https://www.blogger.com/profile/07497254205408895928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087985679708902082.post-25405041458872030932010-02-18T03:49:20.128-05:002010-02-18T03:49:20.128-05:00They are beautiful indeed!

Anytime designers can bring together style and function, we are elated! So forgive me now if these show up in photos for a client's house as well as mine!!!<br /><br />I am so happy to hear that many of you have already discovered these books or have been inspired to purchase them.
