Of course the problems with copying have mainly come about because of three
factors that I can think of. There are probably more.
1. The ease with which we can now copy - photocopiers and scanners. Before I
got a scanner, I always had to explain to the lady in the copyshop that I

Hi all,
Afaik, publishers destroy old unsold books by tearing off the front
cover before destroying them. This means that if you are offered a book
without the front cover, neither the author nor the publisher has made
any money from it, so it is considered stolen goods.

Hi Trish,
She is not just a spanish lacemaker, she is a Catalan one. The strip of Red

costume is the regional one, from the net holding her hair down to the
espadrilles tied on her feet, all is typical Catalan regional c

The reason books have the statement about covers and copyright pages in the US
is that paperback books are sent out to bookstores, and if not sold, the
bookstore can return the cover and copyright page for credit on their account.
The bookstores are supposed to destroy the rest of the book, but
Well, I can tell you right now from just perusing the books I have, that
nothing says the books can not be resold. What the craft books say is
that you can't reproduce the "contents" or store the "contents" or send

manually with out

is that this is for paper back books. If they are not sold at the store they

For example, the law against reselling without the original cover would mean

When knitting lace, do you take the M more commonly to mean Make 1 as in
regular knitting (knit twice in one stitch or twist and knit into the bar
between or in older days, an e wrap), or
as a YO in older lace patterns,
when not included in the stitch chart?
Best,

What also works, if one doesn't want to invest in the entire sleeping

or a remaining piece of oldfashioned under carpet. Or a few layers of the

old woolen blanket according to Esther's pillow recipe.

My local library has a few lace books. Most of them
contain statements that they were donated to the
library by Robin & Russ Handweavers. It's possible
that other libraries also
What is so important of the cover? I have bought my books from the US in
online shops and I think only one or two of them has a cover, the rest
of them are like pocketbooks. My three books by Elwyn Kenn has no
covers. Do the shops sell "unlegitimate" books then?? Or do they sell
different kinds
I rarely borrow from a library now -
When I started lacemaking, my father had to feed, and pay tuition(?) for 6
other children. Those days I used to be a jack-of-all-trades with loaned
books, but I finally concentrated on bobbin lace. If it wasn't for the

Best guess - would depend on the appearance of the 'make 1' in relation to

perhaps use the method that is most efficient for the knitting. A YO isn't
