I don't think any of the books on the list above that I own aren't worth the money. There are a few I own that aren't worth the money but they aren't on the list. It seems to be slanted towards baby knits. I would have added a few more to the list, maybe bring it up to an even 100. Here are some of my favorites, those books in my library (amd some that aren't) that I feel are useful additions to any collection. I'm sure I've left off some great titles, too. It was hard to add just 25.
