[lace] Old lace books for sale

[Linda Walton]

Recently, someone - but I'm afraid I've deleted the message, so just 
'someone' - mentioned buying lace books at an Oxfam bookshop.  For those 
people who can't get to (was it?) Canterbury, here's some information 
about Oxfam's on-line bookshop.

This is a great way to find those books which are long out of print, or 
a place to donate books in the knowledge that they will go to new loving 
owner, and do some good for charity along the way.  I can recommend it 
myself, because I've bought books through it, and it was completely 
satisfactory.

I couldn't seem to make the web page address for the actual book section 
be a stable link, so I'll set out how to find it by clicking your way 
from the front page.

If you go to
http://www.oxfam.org.uk/shop/
you will reach Oxfam's main wite, with there all sorts of things to buy.

You will see a row of boxes across this page, and you click on the first 
one, a blue one, for 'second-hand store', which takes you to a page with 
all sorts of goods, as well as a link for their special antiquarian and 
collectable books.

But if you move to the right, you will see a link saying 'Second-hand 
Store' which has a list below it - 'clothes', 'music', etc. and at the 
end of the list, 'Books'.  This is the one to click to find their main 
book shop page.

At the top of the page is a 'search' box, and when I put in 'lace' just 
now, I got about twenty books, most of which look very desirable.  They 
ranged from £3.99p to £65.00p, include torchon, needlelace and lace 
knitting.  There are also treasures like Santina Levey's "Lace - a 
History" and Ernest Lefebure's "Embroidery and Lace - Their Manufacture 
and History" translated by Alan Cole.

Click on any book that interests you, and you will get a lot more 
information and photographs.  You can buy on-line and they will post 
books to you.

The usual disclaimer - I've no connection with Oxfam, except as a 
satisfied customer.
