3.0 out of 5 stars
A Treasury of Amish Quilts,
By Connie Lukacs (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Treasury of Amish Quilts (Paperback)
This book is a treasure of Amish quilts. It is strictly a picture history of quilts, with a short introduction into the world of the Amish quiltmaker. I have this in my quilt library to sit and simply look at beautiful quilts. I would recommend it as a gift, which is how I received it.

1.0 out of 5 stars
due to packaging this product arrived folded,
This review is from: A Treasury of Amish Quilts (Paperback)
perhaps you could put your books into better packaging or at least put a piece of stiff cardboard in the package to prevent the book from moving in the packaging and folding--I realize it is an extra expense but it would at least assure that the books would arrive in better condition.
