Dear Janet
as you are particularly interested in Elizabethan and Renaissance lace, I would recommend a little book called ELIZABETHAN LACE by Gillian Day. She concentrates on plaited bobbin lace, which is the basis of the Elizabethan style. She also gives basic instructions for simple needle-lace, reticella and lacis. There's a lot in a small space!
I don't alas know whether it is still in print, but do get hold of it if you can.
Published in 1995 by the Elviston Press, Boston Spa, England. ISBN 0 9522709 35
Good hunting!
