Shhhhh!!! Secret Book Weapon
Okay, all you craft book addicts, I'm going to share one of my best secrets.
Powell's Books in Portland, Oregon is a mecca for booklovers. A visit there is a treat and their online presence is a joy.
If you set up an account on their website (free), you can subscribe to their newsletters. Now one of the best of newsletters is one that alerts you to every used craft/needlework book that is added to their inventory. You can set the e-mails to arrive daily or weekly or whatever. This gives you a bit of an advantage in snagging that elusive book.
Of course they have other special interest newsletters, but with up to 100+ new craft titles added each day Mon-Fri, who has time for anything else?
