[lace] The lace dictionary
Dear Alex -- As I am one of your many admirers, and am greatly looking forward to the new dictionary, I am going to allow myself (cheeky! permissible! Arachne) and please note the __correct__ spelling of permissible and of Arachne) to suggest that you use the services of a proofreader as you go along. None of us, and surely not you, would want to see blemishes such as misspelled words, in a work that we all know is going to be a classic. If you would like to e-mail your A chapter to me, I would be very happy to make a gift to mankind (or, more likely, lacemaking womankind) and proofread it for you. As I am an experienced proofreader, editor, writer, and have got a doctorate from Columbia University, I am feeling freer than I might otherwise be in suggesting this to you. Best wishes!

Re: [lace] International Lace Dictionary - Gent 1998 edition
In a message dated 7/16/06 9:02:19 AM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Dear Antje and the list, I have a book, paperbook, that I bought at a lace day here years ago called International Lace Dictionary. It was pulished in Gent/Ghent in 1994. I have the address in the book where orders coul/can be places for copies, but I can't guarantee that the address is current, contact me if you are interested. There is no ISBN number to quote as I believe it was published privately or something. Dear Arachnes, The book has been updated since 1994. The 1998 edition includes Parts I and II. It is by Edith Spee, Ineke van den Kieboom, and Johan Coene, and can probably be obtained from the usual lace book dealers or Johan Coene. http://users.belgacom.net/coene Click on the book shown on the right on the home page. I think mine was purchased from a lace book dealer in the U.S. for about $25, which included the shipping from Europe. Costs a lot less than it would to take many language lessons! The edition I have says (C) Copyright Voorbehoude English is compared with: French German Dutch Spanish Catalan Italian Portuguese 88 pages --- Danish Swedish Finnish Hungarian Czech Russian Japanese 91 pages All spiral-bound in one volume measuring 8 1/4 x 5 3/4. 1/2 thick.

[lace] International Lace Dictionary
Hi Patsy and All, I'm sure Tamara will have something to say about this but I happened to just be on line so I'll answer. I got the International Lace Dictionary by Spee, van den Kieboom and Coene last year in Harrisburg, PA. In the US, Holly Van Sciver, Lacy Susan and the Lacemaker all usually carry it. It was published in 1998 and the ISBN is something I can't find - there is a KBC number 444-9510821-56, I don't know what that is. A website is also listed: http://users.belgacom.net/coene though it is 7 years old now. It's a great book!
