Re: [lace] Honiton books by Susanne Thompson
Hi Jill I did all the scanning for Susanne for her first book using my home scanner and it was adequate for the job. Iâm not sure where to access one of these special scanners and cost and time are limiting and I do not see that there should be a problem in destroying a single book if it means unlimited copies will then be available. I started my lacemaking learning from books and was teaching lacemaking before Pam Nottinghamâs was available, it was not easy and, to me, the availability of information is more important than a single copy.

Re: [lace] Honiton books by Susanne Thompson
Dear Alex, All my precious old lace books, published before 1923, were the first ones scanned for the University of Arizona site from here in Maine. The books did not have to be cut up, and all of you have had the convenience of being able to read them for nearly 20 years. The only fallout was binding damage from flattening some books. They have been repaired. Worth sharing, since you all can read these in the comfort of your homes! Why would technology be creeping backwards? Surely, there is a waywithout damaging a book?

However, in order to do so a copy of her book has to be sacrificed i.e. it has to be cut up so that it can be scanned. Can anyone supply me with a copy of the book? You can have two copies of the reprinted book as replacement. Alex - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
