I thought I would treat myself to a book on crewel embroidery as it gets irritating looking for inspiration on the internet after a while. I had set myself a budget of £25 and was looking for a pretty colourful book with stitches in. I looked for a number of recommendations and googled them, which is where I saw Abe books and actually looked at them for once. I have seen them around for a while but in my mind was not thinking they were a good book shop.
What they actually are is an off shoot of Amazon dealing in books and things like that. I looked for the book I wanted that retails at over £20 and found it... second hand for £4 postage free (as a Prime member). I then looked for other books and now have 5, I repeat 5, being winged to me from different second hand bookshops around the country for my original £25 One of them is coming from a bookshop I know well in Norwich.
They appear to have at least a week delivery on them but I will let you know how it goes
