**rjk** and I both sell books on Etsy. I specialize in craft books (both vintage and recent), and I have over 750 books in just about any craft related subject you can imagine. My shop is [Breezy’s Crafty Books](https://www.etsy.com/shop/breezysbooks?ref=l2-shopheader-name). In addition to the regular Etsy interface, I’ve constructed my own interface which lets people find books in my shop via tags. [Breezy’s Crafty Books Tag Surfer](http://www.zyada-q.com/books/breezysbooks.php) This site orders books by “interestingness”. I would dearly appreciate feedback on this - is it an intuitive and/or useful way to find books you are interested in? Bob specializes in vintage cookbooks - he has 59 cookbooks currently. His shop is [Any Old Cookbook](https://www.etsy.com/shop/AnyOldCookbook). Also, Bob has a _lot_ more cookbooks than what he has up! If there’s a particular cookbook subject you’re interested in, let us know and we might be able to find something to fit. (He’ll probably have a dozen books, the real question is whether we’ll be able to find them!) ---

Very cool! I will share you store with my knitting group. Some of the members are really into lots of different crafts and love vintage pattern and such. ---

This is too coincidental not to share. I never go into Marketplace but I clicked on it by accident and Crafting caught my eye since I am a quilter. Then today I get a package from a friend who is a packrat and is purging. It included a copy of Rose Wilder Lane’s \*\*Woman’s Day Book of American Needlework \*\* and the Books of Patterns and Instructions for it. If this is something you can use I’d be happy to send it to you so it may find a good home. I’m not offended at all if it’s not something you can use! > **[This item is unavailable - Etsy](https://www.etsy.com/listing/176756693/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=product_listing_promoted&utm_campaign=vintage-supplies-pattern-low&ione_adtype=pla&ione_creative=54864841355&ione_product_id=176756693&ione_product_partition_id=89249883395&ione_store_code=&ione_device=c&ione_product_channel=online&ione_merchant_id=11067914&ione_product_country=US&ione_product_language=en&gclid=CNj23LmLgsICFZTm7AodAlEAHQ)** > > Find the perfect handmade gift, vintage & on-trend clothes, unique jewelry, and more… lots more.

I have one copy, but I can certainly take another one! Send it to me and I can send you a coupon that should cover the price of a book & shipping! And feel free to look over my [quilting books](http://www.zyada-q.com/books/breezysbooks.php?tags=quilting§=14861478) ---

You want to build me, that’s fine, but I’d rather not be eaten. ---
