It's a great book, for those interested, and the price (so far) isn't
bad.
Books like this serve a good purpose, even when so much of their
information is way out-of-date. The fact is that things like lace are
easily destroyed in fires, floods, and wars, and early books with good
clear photographs are sometimes all we have left of many of the finest
laces ever made.
