Both of BlackBooks have new 2006 editions out as well. The Official BlackBook Price Guide to US Paper Money and Official Blackbook Price Guide to United States Coins by Thomas E. Hudgeons Jr. were released on June 7, 2005. The BlackBooks are smaller and done entirely in black and white. But they are also cheaper than RedBook and contain most of information RedBook does. At $6.99 and $7.99 respectively they are worth their money in valuing your collection.

Whether you choose RedBook or BlackBook or like me both, I strongly urge you to purchase at least one. The coin market has gained in value tremendously since US State Quarter program started in 1999. The millions of new collectors gained from State Quarter program has driven prices up on coins in general. To make sure you don't sell or under value your collection it is essential that you stay up on current market prices. I also recommend that collectors subscribe to a monthly or quarterly coin magazine for this reason as well but more on this later.

Slip ribbon that is to be bra band through both triangles right at fold.

Sew together tips of 2 triangles, where they touch. so you have shape of a bikini top or front of bra.

Sew ribbon in place.

Sew bra strap ribbons securely behind top of each triangle.

Put on bra and tie ribbon around your torso to secure it.

Take bra strap ribbons from top of triangles and bring them to your back to touch torso ribbon. Use a pencil to make a mark on all ribbons where they touch. Take off bra and sew bra straps in place.

Now try on bra again to see fit. If fit is not right, mark where ribbons should join with a pencil. Unpick your work and sew ribbons in place again.

Have fun. But you can buy bras you actually need online instead at www.buy-bras.net
