Last night, on the way home from work, I picked up a serger that I had found on Craigslist. More on that in a later post. Along with the serger though, the seller was cleaning out her library of sewing books. She asked if I like to go through her 'donation' boxes to see if there was anything I found interesting. Well, of course I'd like to take a look. Thank you for offering!
Given that I didn't want to take up too much of her time while she waited for me to peruse the selection, I quickly scooped up several books with either titles or covers that appealed to me. (Yes, I judged books by their covers.) A few even earned a cursory glance at the illustrations. Eight books came home with me. Some may prove to be more helpful than others, but I was pretty happy with the whole bundle.
Here are the books that followed me home. Maybe you recognize a title or two? Any recommendations for ones that are particularly good, or not?

| The serger I bought didn't come with a manual, so this seemed like a good idea |
 |
| BHG put out a good cookbook, let's see what they've got on sewing |
 |
| I'm still a ways away from applying fine tailoring skills, but it doesn't hurt to start reading about them. |
 |
| I would like to have a sewing machine with the custom paint job featured on this cover. |
 |
| There's only a little water damage in the bottom corner. |
Now, which one should I start reading first?
