This book is compenium of stitches used in bobbin lace. Beautifully photographed and diagramed, it is meant for the lace designer. There are no patterns. The only thing I would do to improve this book is to give some indication what style of lace the stitches shown would be used in. That aside, I love this book. Even if you never design a piece in your life, it is beautiful and informative to browse through.

Every combination of bobbin lace stitches are featured and explained in this book. I found it a wonderful reference for designing your own or to learn a new technique .

This instructional book illustrates 262 different bobbin lace reseaus and stitches with photos of examples, drawings of the stitches, and instructions and prickings for each stitch. It is a wonderful resource for understanding what differentiates the various reseaus and fillings, as in photographs, they are often hard to distinguish. Great to be used in conjunction with Pat Earnshaw's *Identification of Lace* when analyzing a piece of lace.

This is basically the bible for the bobbin lace maker. Well documented, clear pictures and patterns, the best reference ever.

I'd like to get this book but I want to know .How much is this book Please tell me to my e-mail.
