Thanks for the warning, Orianna. I'll make sure to check if I do buy the hardcopy.
In other news, I was cleaning out two people's worth of sewing stuff I inherited, and I found three sewing books! All newer, but I've already learned a good deal. One is how to do tricksy things with your sewing machine, one is how to do tricksy things with your serger, and one is how to set up an efficient sewing area in even the smallest spaces (very relevant to my interests). I also sorted through all of the thread and have at least a year before I need to buy any more, and ended up getting rid of a full-size laundry basket worth of stuff that was either severely outdated (do not need giant shoulderpads anymore, actually...) or just things that don't work anymore. Lots and lots of old, dull, short pins. I've spoiled myself with the extra long Dritz ones with the giant pearlized head. I can never go back.
