The Book of Bobbin Lace Stitches shows all the details of how to make specific stitches. You will return to it again and again in your lacemaking career. It covers many laces from all over the world. Practical Skills in Bobbin Lace shows methods from many different lace traditions that are more extensive than the process of individual stitches. This is the bible of lacemaking, because it covers so much. The Introduction to Bobbin Lace takes you from the very beginning of making bobbin lace and lays things out in an orderly progression to help get you started. I can recommend all these books as a solid foundation to your lacemaking library. Getting all this information from the same set of authors is a great benefit as it will be more consistent.

Re: [lace] Lace books
Hello Nancy and all, My name is Joanne Scowcroft and I am Australian. I have to confess to lurking for a couple of weeks. You all sound so knowledgeable that I am not sure I will have much to contribute. I have been a lace-making supplier in Australia for 3 1/2 years. Nancy - a very good book for learning is Rosemary Shepherd's Introduction to Bobbin Lacemaking. It is very popular here. I taught myself from the book before finding a nearby lace group. I know lots of people who have taught themselves from this book and I use this book as a teaching resource. I hope this is helpful to you.

Re: [lace] Lace books - duplicates
This is not the only "problem". Sometimes the title of the book is changed, plus the ISBN (which is directly tied to the publisher's name) if a different publisher is used This is terrible when you are not allowed to return the book. Wish something would be done about it by the publishers, but they only wish to distribute more books. You have to read the descriptions very carefully, and perhaps write to Arachne to get info as to the publishing history of a book. Some reviews never mention this and appear in book reviews in magazines you are reading. This is where keeping a book inventory comes in handy, and one reason my book inventory is kept by author's name coming first (before title). That way, I can retrieve all the books by an author and see what similarities are present. Two (2) very similar books by Heather Toomer would be an example.

Re: [lace] Lace Books Available
This must be quite a wrench, you have collected a wonderful set of books there on a variety of topics. I note that you will only ship to the US, I can certainly understand why you don't want to deal with international postage. Given my total lack of income, I can't decide whether I'm sad or relieved that you won't send to Canada! Good luck with the sale.

Re: [lace] lace books...and copyright again
On 16 Sep 2004, at 18:03, Debbie wrote: Lately in our discussions about copyright, this book (Modern Lace Designs by Veronica Sorenson) came to mind as there is a pattern of a robin sitting on a flower pot surrounded by a snowy background. The picture is framed with a little edging that was not allowed to be included in the pattern because of a question of copyright! The edging could be easily redrawn from the picture by an experienced lacemaker. Some food for thought there... just what thought I’m not sure. There's also an oval wedding medallion/plaque design which bears a VERY superficial resemblance to the design in Eeva Lisa Kortelahti's Nyplatkaamme/Let's Make Bobbin Lace. I remember spending a wet and windy weekend with Veronica demonstrating BL in a marquee, and she was telling me that she got her knuckles wrapped by Kortelahti's publisher for alleged copyright infringement, but if you look at both and was only 'let off' because the dates in her design were of her own wedding in 1961; My copy of Kortelahti's book was published in 1988, don't know if there was an earlier Finnish only version or when Kortelahti's piece was made. Sorenson's book was published in 1984. To my thinking, it's impossible to say that either design was copied from the other. There's a similarity in overall shape, size and function but that's about all. Design ideas have to come from somewhere, and without studying of other works, in any media, design would not move forward. Incidentally, Veronica Sorenson's wedding oval is pictured opposite the robin picture that Debbie mentioned. That was based on a commercial Christmas card. I too made a lace picture from a Christmas card once, though mine was only holly leaves, berries and ribbons. Did I steal Veronica's idea??!!
