Title: OK......NOW you're talkin'

Greenhouse Fabrics has been promising lower priced books for quite some time. Today, they finally delivered:

Nice to see prices going in the OTHER direction for a change. They also sent 4 books that retail at $38.90 (still not bad).   
They even threw in one of those "Upholsterers never die" T-shirts.
Who says this business doesn't have it's perks?

Decent quality. As far as I'm concerned, the fabrics in their $60+ books really aren't  any better.

Cool, maybe they finally got the message.

Is Greenhouse everyone's low-cost go-to fabric provider?  Any other recommendations?

I didn't mean to mislead anyone into thinking that Greenhouse is low-cost. Believe me, the recent $28.90 books that they sent me are NOT the norm for them.

I like Charlotte Fabrics (Minneapolis), and Leon's Fabrics (Columbus, Ga). They both have a good selection of fabrics that retail in the high 30's.
