FS: Vogue Knitting

I have Vogue Knitting: The Ultimate Knitting Book in Hardcover. It is the older edition, in very good to excellent condition, complete with the dust cover. It is a must-have for the serious knitter--detailed pictures of knitting techniques as well as lots and lots of stitches and a few basic patterns. I got it off Ebay a few months ago and it seems that whoever I got it from either had dogs or smoked--both of which I am severely allergic too. I cannot use the book because every time I try, I really have a bad reaction. Asking $20.00 ppd. This book retails for up to $30 at some places. Please take note if you too have allergies! This is not the book for you. Otherwise, it's a great book and I hate to have to give it up. It took me so long to figure out the perfect knitting book and even longer to commit to buying it! I am not really trying to make a profit--I just want to recover the losses so that I can re-purchase the book! Thanks in Advance!
