Individual volumes priced at $4.50. Very well illustrated, both in color and with the practical drawings showing how to do everything. I'll look for more, but when I saw your question I thought of this set right away....P. J.

But the music was the thing--the music was glorious. I'll look forward to "Star of Bethlehem."P. J.

I spent last night hemming just one dress and couldn't figure out why it took so long. When I finished, nearly three hours later, I spread the thing out and calculated that the one dress had 15 feet of hem. <br /><br />I could hear snippets of the rehearsal and have found myself humming one of the new pieces, "Star of Bethlehem. It is new to me, but Anna says that she heard it in the movie "Home Alone", during the chapel scene.Susan Ochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13349528942254702007noreply@blogger.com
