Yes, Noelene, It's a hard back book, of 109 pages, plus some reference pages which contain lists of contacts (at least the Australian ones are completely out of date!).
It starts with about 20 pages of very general background history and hints. Then there are 30 patterns, with a length of pricking, a working diagram and a photo of each. There are also quite detailed written instructions for each piece. According to the author, Malmesbury lace is very similar to Downton lace, although Malmesbury is worked with the footside on the right. Malmesbury uses Bucks Point techniques, and tends to be a geometric lace, although a few patterns have floral Bucks techniques. The book originally cost 12 pounds 95 pence. Hope this helps!
