There is so much information in your book, Catherine, that I am sure a black & white copy would be fine. People are after your knowledge, and ability to pass on that knowledge, rather than look at coloured photos!!!
I think getting the information out there is more important, so I say yes to black & white, - rather than no book at all. I personally, can't imagine life without the book!!, and I know that in my recent classes in USA a couple of copies were produced in class and referred to, and the books were passed around, and there were lots of "where can I get a copy" questions!! It is a much needed resource, and just a plain copy would be much appreciated by a lot of needlelacers. By the way, --I have just completed a 2 day class with Jean Leader, and loved every minute of it. I struggled with an Old Bucks Point pattern, - and got totally tied in knots with kat stitch ground, which I haven't done for many years!! I eventually got it sorted out, and managed to work out the gimped sprig within the ground, and even got the head side started. It is a wide piece and I need more pairs of bobbins...!!! ( I have well over 70 pairs on the pillow already!! I think this is the first Bucks Point class I have ever been to!! After 30 years of lacemaking, I have only worked this lace from books, so I have learned quite a few tricks, and how to "make it work"!!! Wonderful!!
