While perusing the Bootstrap Fashion website this morning, I found this online book, linked to by BF, found on the ISSUU site.

...Couldn't bring myself to type in the actual title...might be difficult to find in a search

Don't be shy. I have found the "for dummies" books basically helpful and the titles a tongue in cheek bit of humor.

Haha, thanks Patti
Some of these books are well done, and thought it best focus on the availability of this resource and not it's potentially off putting name.
I think I should have put FREE in the title

Most of the Dummies books I have used have been more helpful to me than I can even tell you. Only a few have been less than helpful. So don't worry about the name.

Thanks for this link. How is this book so available? Amazing. I'm sure many people will be happy to have this available.

I know! Right?
I first thought it was only going to be a sample of the book and you'd have to give up something like an email address to see more, but I think it's all there

wow, all the books on that website can be viewed! Not just samples, many are full books! I have been looking for a fitting book but don't want to commit until I see the inside first, this is terrific! Thank you for the great find!

edit spelling

I just bought "The complete photo guide to perfect fitting" book. It is so useful to be able to view the whole thing before purchasing.

Is this copyright infringement? Putting the whole thing on the interwebs doesn't seem like fair use to me!

I'm not familiar with the ISSUU site. Do you think it's something like Napster was with people sharing reading material rather than music? I do think it's odd that I could view the book without signing in.
