This long-unavailable knitting classic was recently the Number One best selling craft and hobby book in America. There’s a new generation of knitters hungry for this title to be back in print after being unavailable for so long. Knitters have paid more than $200 for a used copy of the original and the Dover paperback edition at $24.95 (around £15) is irresistible. (Buy it online easily at http://www.doverpublications.com) Dover worked closely with Alice to get the best quality possible for this edition and she even felt it is an improvement on the original editions in terms of the colour repro. She’s also especially happy that the book is a Green Edition.
