Am considered the official Bibliophile for the Int'l FreeForm Crochet Group. Have all the books you have mentioned, including the ones too expensive to buy nowadays! Drop me a line to my e-mail addy of melagill@comcast.net and I will be happy to share more info with you, and might have duplicates of rare oop books that you are seeking.<BR/><BR/>Fondly,<BR/>MelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
