Fwd: [lace] Books/ out of print books
I whole heartedly agree. I have gotten some real bargains from the Lace Guild library. And I found the lady who helped me was very kind and patient. I got the books very quickly even though I am on a different continent. Thanks to all those people who donated their books!

Re: [lace] Books/ out of print books
Hi carrie, You can email libr...@laceguild.org but be aware that Sara, the librarian, works part time so you may not get a reply the same day. On the library page of the Guild website there is a link to as pdf of current s/h books for sale ( https://www.laceguild.org/museum/library.html ). Clare, still in Portsmouth where it is even wetter and windier than last time I posted. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Books/ out of print books
I have also bought many books that way: the Lace Guild or private lacemakers. And there is also a good Facebook Page (for hose who are on Facebook), which is called Bobbin Lace Market ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/Bobbinlacemarket/). I have just bought the book of Russian Lace by Bridget Cook for a very reasonable price and second hand from someone who had it twice. You only have to wait patiently until the opportunity arrives!

Not only does the Lace Guild have out of print lace books for sale but I am sure that local lace groups will as well. I know ours does.

In support of the Lace Guild's second hand books - even though I live on the other side of the world, and am not a member of the UK Lace Guild, I have bought several books this way.

Re: [lace] Books/ out of print books
At The Lace Guild we regularly get boxes of books sent to us by families who are dealing with loved ones estates. If these are duplicates to ones we already have in the library we sell them as second hand books. This is a blatant advertising email because we have boxes and boxes of books which we would love to get out there in the wild again. If you are looking for a particular book it would certainly be worth dropping the librarian an email to see if she can help.

[lace] Books/ out of print books
Hi All, I have taken the view that if I am vaguely interested in something and the opportunity comes up I buy it even if I am not quite ready to go in that direction. Guild Libraries are good to introduce new ideas, and I agree with the previous lacemaker who said that when she finds something she really likes, she seeks to acquire her own copy of the book. Cannot remember exactly how long ago was the visit to a Bookstore in Glebe, Sydney (we were early for a function) when I paid A$120 for five books. One was the first Read and Kincaid Milanese lace book and one Robyn Wild's, it was 35-40 years ago. Have only recently started venturing into Milanese. On the other side I have recently acquired a copy of their second book, via Abe books, used to be in a London Library! The other reason I buy books when I see them is I like to know about other styles of Lace (that I will never do) to have a broader understanding of Lace in general.
