Thank goodness David has also resorted to self publishing and can't imagine
that anyone would purchase these out of print books as the extortionate prices
being advertised on well know internet sites for second hand copies ('I could
sell my copy and retire')! This is what made me decide to take the financial
risk and re-print my own book Needlelace Designs & Techniques on a Print on
Demand basis.

Abes books has it for about $30 which is about the cost price if I remember.
The other prices I saw were ridiculous. I could sell my copy and retire!! Smile
I forgot to ask him if he has approached David direct as I believe he self
publishes sometimes??

someone 'cashing in' on all the hard work they have done in writing the book in
the first place, sit there in front of a computer screen and watch these
ridiculous prices being advertised, far beyond the pockets of most lacemakers (
for whom the book was written in the first place)! Always check with the
author of any out of print lace title before buying a second hand copy at an
extortionate price (unless you are able to find a reasonably priced copy), as
many authors are now self publishing.

RE: [lace] Turning Lace Bobbins
I have replied to H M Clarke telling him it is the only book for him. Best ever for bobbin making styles. Abes books has it for about $30 which is about the cost price if I remember.

Brian -Original Message- From: owner-l...@arachne.com On Behalf Of H M Clarke Sent: Wednesday, 10 October 2018 10:06 AM To: Lace Subject: [lace] Turning Lace Bobbins Greetings, oh wise lacemakers. I am interested in David Springett’s book “Turning Lace Bobbins”. Since it is long out of print, I am unable to look at a copy first. I am looking for the ‘tricks of the trade’ for doing the different decorative styles rather than topics such as ‘how to turn a basic bobbin’ or ‘choosing or setting up your lathe’ or even ‘how to turn bone’. Therefore I am looking to you for more information. Do you have this book? Is it any good? What topics does it cover? How do you think it compares with my ‘wish list’ above? If anyone knows of a cheap copy then I would be delighted to hear that as well ;-) Thank you in advance, Helen in the sunny west coast of mainland Canada, where most people are recovering from Thanksgiving - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
