    A juicy discount. $60ish (plus shipping) for the 100-swatch book is just as inexpensive as ordering that many swatches from online retailers, but with the glossary and binding already attached for you.

    I am honored and delighted! I’m also planning to do some Christmas shopping with the discount!
    Thank you Kathleen and thank you Laurence King!

    Holy cow, they’re offering free shipping with this too. When a publisher beats the Amazon price and offers free shipping, BUY DIRECT and support them! I may have to buy that Leather Fashion Design book Kathleen so graciously wrote a detailed review of on Amazon.

    I’m not in the UK, no free shipping for me. :(

    I didn’t picture KC exploding so much as undergoing spontaneous mitosis. There would then have been two KCs reciting poetry in tandem.
