I have just been asked if it is possible to buy the little book on Cretan lace which was put out by the Greek lacemakers some years ago and which will be the subject of one of the workshops at the OIDFA Congress in May. Here is what I wrote:
The easiest way to get this book is to download it from <http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/lace.html> Go to the site, then click on Books, then scroll down about 10 books until you come to : Koustouraki-Koukoulari, Kristina. Cretan Bobbin Lace [Kritiko Kopanelli], 1985, 43 pages. Note: Translation from the Greek. Provided by Tess Parrish. Posted September 25, 2002. CD (HWDA11). CD (LDA01). SAMPLE PAGE.

Provided by Tess Parrish. For illustrations, see the original Greek or the English translation. Posted September 25, 2002. CD (HWDA11). CD (LDA01). SAMPLE PAGE. File size 1.3 MB PDF You will see that the book is in the original Greek, a complete English translation, and a French one. The English and French are both in the Western alphabet. The Greek is of course the original. It is not a large book, so you shouldn't have too much trouble downloading it. As it is a small paperback, you would be getting pretty much exactly the same as buying the book in Greece. You can also find it on lace CD#1.
