Customer Review: I have a Gathering of Lace and Victorian Lace Today. They are great books but really big to carry around. I like to take books with me a lot so this book works great.

Customer Review: What a wonderful book this is. Eye candy on every page! The photos are inspiring and the information complete...what more could you ask. The only problem is, I'd now like to knit most of these shawls!

Customer Review: As a teacher of bobbin lace, I find this soft covered book by Gilian Dye and Adrienne Thunder a nice addition to a beginning student's library. I would recommend it to anyone who wanted to learn the basics of bobbin lace without formal instruction. Gilian Dye and Adrienne Thunder are well known in... more info
Customer Review: I bought this as part of a package sight unseen because I love Japanese crochet. This is not what I was looking for at all. I will probably sell or trade it and the companion book that came with it.
