I just can't figure what would be wrong with them. But the books I've ordered have all been fine but sure didnt want to start a pattern and not be able to finish it if it had wrong info. In it or something

I bought a 'second' book. In the printing process, there is a narrow (1/32nd of an inch) strip of color at the very top of the front cover that wasn't supposed to be there. It was a quick 75% off! They are bargains. They wouldn't sell it at all if the patterns or directions were incorrect.

Sometimes they have been damaged in shipment from the printer, and other times they have been to shows and are a little "shop worn" from customers thumbing through them. Never a problem with measurements and instructions!
