One book which I don't think has been mentioned is Bridget Cook's "Russian Lace Making", which has an introductory section explaining the techniques followed by plenty of patterns. The instructions look fairly clear and comprehensive (I have a copy but have never got round to using it).
Anyone know whether it's in print at the moment?
