Thanks for all the recommendations of where to buy books.
But I guess I didn't make myself clear enough. The main thing I was 
asking for what which books I should be looking for to learn Binche, 
Mechlin, Valenciennes, Point de Paris etc. Like, are the books by Vera 
Cockuyt any good? I have the book on Valenciennes by Annick Staes, and I 
will see if I can figure any of it out this weekend, but I find it hard 
to get around in the book, since it has 4 languages, so have to page 
through quite a bit to get to the next instructions....I guess maybe 
I'll copy the English pages and put them in a binder, might be easier to 
find my way around.

I am probably going to have to wait a while with buying any books, 
unless I can get them from our one and only Canadian dealer, since our 
dollar has dropped considerably against all currencies, like the Euro 
was worth CAD$1.32 a month ago, now it is over 1.40, and the pound was 
around 1.90, and now is over 2.00 (and 6 months ago it was around 
$1.60). It's the reliance on oil export that is killing our economy 
right now.

But in the meantime I would like to know which books are good for 
learning these laces. I have been burned before with buying books that 
ended up being useless, one of the detriments of not being able to see 
the actual book.
