Sell me your Bra-Makers Manual?

I'm looking to buy a used copy of the Bra-Makers Manual by Beverly Johnson. Please let me know if you have a copy you could part with.

Thanks. Pora

I see one on eBay for $75!! Yikes! I make panties, but haven't been able to make a decent bra yet. Do a Google search for "bra making", maybe you'll find some helpful information.

No kidding on the price. Ouch! I'm sure hoping someone has one they'll sell at a reduction. I've googled all over and haven't found anything cheaper yet...

Have you tried some of the used book sellers? Like abebooks, alibris, powells - do a google on "used books" and you will find several

I've never heard of this book. Are there any reviews of it?

Try half.com and Hamilton Books (they have a web site, but I don't know what it is.)

But I won't ever part with the one I bought from Lee-Anne Burgess, so I hope you find one.

Well, here's the website for the book itself and its author. (Take a gander at some of the bras in the gallery, made by readers. Zowie!)

My understanding is that it's used as a textbook at fashion schools in lingerie courses. There is other literature too, but I'm thinking it's what I want. Don't know about reviews. It doesn't appear to have an ISBN, so it might not technically be officially published. Hmm, maybe textbook stores at fashion schools have used copies at reduced prices...

Hamilton does mostly remaindered books. A good source for those.

Half.com, eBay, and Amazon also list second-hand books from individuals.

- ABE Books - is a site used by commercial booksellers around the world and is a good place to look for a rare, out-of-print book. Some not-so-rare, too. IIRC, Alibris lists with ABE as well as Half.com.

A specialty site that may be worth checking is

I think you can also write to her to tell her you're looking for something and she will hunt for it.

G'day again Pora

Why not post a wanted ad in the Yahoo group SewItsForSale I've had good success there when trying to find back issues of Janome Digest.

Yeah, I think that is probably going to be your best bet. Textbooks don't usually make it to half.com.

(Not to mention stuff on half.com should be called twiceorthrice.com)
