Thrifty books and patterns?

[crabappledesign]

Hello out there!
I'm looking for places to shop for vintage (mid century) childrens and youth hardback books and dress patterns.  Anyone know of a good place to shop for such items?

Goodwill Blue Hanger used to be great for old books but now they don't sell them. 

Suggestions?

I don't know about dress patterns, but the main Half-Price books in Austin (on north Lamar) might have the children's books. That location has older books, including first-editions.

good luck!
