SUSAN BONSALL SIRKIS
(Nov. 9, 1935 - Sept. 27, 2019)
Bradley Justice has continued Susan's website as a legacy business where her booklets and patterns may still be bought directly:
http://www.susansirkis.com/
UPDATE(July 2022): I ordered three of the books I was still missing from Bradley, and they arrived next day! The books themselves cost $53, so there were no shipping fees. The books were well packaged. I don't think you can get better than that! So I'd say this legacy business is quite alive and well, and the book prices are a lot less expensive new than what I found used(I bought "Flossie...A Flapper of 1928" for $12 and the only copy I saw used they were asking $75 for!)
Anyone with more information about this publication can contact me through My Contact Page.
