Each fall I sell various needlework (knitting, tatting, crochet and sometimes quilted) items at the senior center bazaar and invariably someone remarks about my many crafts to which I gently reply, I don't do crafts, I'm a needleworker.   To me, crafts involves using glue, paper, wood or plastic.

Thanks to all for your help and information.  It seems that the 1970 p. 16 ad for THE BELGIAN WAY OF MAKING BOBBIN LACE by Osma Gallinger Tod is selling for $2.25 which should mean that my copy is older as the price (in my copy) is listed at $1.50.  A very interesting addition to my lace book
