I know "The Perfect Fit" book from the series is identical - same photos, index looks the same, and the text that I checked was identical right down to which page and location on the page. Fortunately I was able to return the new one.JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-30419173909379033472013-01-28T00:53:25.151-05:002013-01-28T00:53:25.151-05:00I have that book.

Next to my love of fabrics and everthing sewing related, books run a close second. Each time I see a new one I think I must purchase it. You have saved me some money.

This is what I think is going on. The original books came out in the early 90's under the Singer name as part of a subscription series. You got a book ever six weeks or so. If you didn't want it you sent it back. If you did you paid something like 19.95 plus S&A. There were probably twenty something titles in the series. I have almost the complete set.<br /><br />The publisher (not Singer since Singer contracts everything out) retained the copyright and could reissue the books once the given time period commitment to Singer expired. That is why you are seeing them again. So don't buy it unless you want to gift someone a copy. <br /><br />Theresa in TucsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-3635169374717405802013-01-22T18:22:22.643-05:002013-01-22T18:22:22.643-05:00Yes!
