[lace] Practical Skills in Bobbin Lace

2004-12-17 Thread Jean Nathan
In November mention was made that this book was out of print, but that it
was to be republished in paperback. Browsing Amazon and Tesco, I noticed
they both have it listed as due 1st February 2005 - looks like Amazon might
be showing the new cover.

Very interesting! www.amazon.co.uk does indeed list this volume, with
the release date as Jean mentioned, and a picture of the new cover.

www.amazon.com (the US version) does not list the new volume at all, and
lists the old one as being out of print (except for one exorbitantly
overpriced used copy).

[lace] Practical Skills

Hi
Speaking to Bridget Cook at the weekend she said that Practical Skills was 
going to be reprinted by Batsford but with a different cover.  So look out for 
it at your usual suppliers.
Who said no-one was talking I had 42 e-mails this morning!

There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it.
For example I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't
hurt.

   in N.Z., where it dried out and warmed up a bit today, so I mowed the
lawns
  and am feeling virtuous, but I would still rather make lace.


  Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as
well
  dance.

[lace] Practical Skills (The Cookbook) on ebay plus what are these?

2004-03-07 Thread Jean Nathan
There's a copy of the now out-of-print? Practical Skills in Bobbin Lace by
Bridget Cook on ebay (and hardback). Considered by some of us to be
essential. Starting bid wanted of 4 pounds 99 pence (approx. 9 US dollars).

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=3593028947category=112
4

or search for item number 3593028947

And what are these (apart from the pastry crimper)?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=3278249569category=114

or search for item number 3278249569

I've emailed and told him/her that I don't know what they are, but they're
not lace bobbins. So far the description's not been changed, but
then perhaps he/she doesn't really want any bids. The only way anyone will
bid on them is if they know what they are, and then they'd have to find them
by accident.
