That was my first bobbin lace book! I bought it out of curiosity when I was a teenager and I tried making my first pieces using crochet cotton and horseshoe nails as bobbins when I was about 15. My makeshift equipment was rather frustrating and the lace bug didn't bite until many years later, when I tried again with the proper equipment and more updated books. I recall that a lot of projects in the book were in the "macrame-plant-holders-and-room-dividers" style.
