I would go to any local wallpaper store and ask them if they have any books that contain wallpaper that is no longer in stock or print. If they don’t have any on hand you could always ask them to hang onto the next one they have
Go to the wallpaper store and ask for old wallpaper samples or any throw aways they may have. Be honest and tell them you are going to use them for crafts at home. Sometimes they’ll let you have them, sometimes they won’t. Our local carpet showroom gave the carpet squares they were going to discard to a church youth group. They carpeted the new youth wing with them. Happy Crafting!
Just ask. Most paint and wall paper stores will give you all you’ll take, for free. If they don’t have any let them take your name to call them when they do.
I have 12 discontinued books (gleaned over several months) from Home Depot. Ask in the wallpaper dept if they have any, or when they next expect to be pulling old ones. It breaks my heart because they load up a shopping cart full and wheel it to the dumpster every few weeks! Wish I could grab them all; but where to put them??
