That's the sort of thing that makes authors wince. That much money for your book, and you're not getting a cent of it.

To those interested in Barb's book please remember, Celtic Dragon Press and Barb Tewksbury are one and the same thing. When you order from the publisher it is Barb herself that will answer your e-mail.
What you spend on her book will stay with Barb.
And her book will pay for itself even if you never intend to make your own kilt but simply need the information about what a real kilt should look and feel like so you can make a good informed decision on who will make your next kilt.

Now I read on the website for the book that it's out of print until the 2nd edition came out. Does this mean that she has zero copies of the first edition left, or just that I'm only looking at the pre-order in the face? My first copy was purchased from the publisher directly by a family member as a gift. The book has been invaluable tool in making decisions on the last 2 kilts I've purchased.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to be posting this, just kind of on the hunt due to being stuck at a standstill in my current project with my bible of kilt making.
My .02 on the book: As a rookie seemster and complete novice at almost everything kilt related, The Art of Kilt Making became an essential tool to me in not only working out my first home made kilt, but in urging my hand towards quality garments and fabrics. It truely is a book that any and every one with an interest in making or purchasing a kilt should own.

Hi!
I truly have only a few books left. Not very good planning on my part. I had intended to have enough right to the time of the printing of the 2nd edition. But....all of a sudden this spring, the book started selling about twice as well as over the past few years, so I've run out a bit sooner than I had hoped.
Matt sells them and has a few left, as does Tartantown (www.tartantown.com). You might also try Celtic Croft, although I think they may only have a couple left. I'm in Victoria right now, but I'll check when I get home to see what other vendors might have copies left.

Thank you so much! I'll definately be making my order in the next few days. I'd much rather have my money end up in the hands of those that deserve it and have put forth the effort to further this community.
