I can second (third?) the praise for Alex Stillwell's books on Bucks, but I want to be sure that it is clear, in answer to the original query, that there are two books, the first on Geometric Bucks Point and a second on Floral Bucks. The second builds on the first, so you need to get the first book at least. The best place to get them is http://alexstillwell.wordpress.com/books/ -- she accepts PayPal so it is easy to place an order from outside the UK. (Usual disclaimer: no connection--just a satisfied customer.) My comment on those two books is that they are among the most detailed, thorough, and clear expositions of how to make a type of lace of any I have ever seen, not just among Bucks books but of any type of lace (they are definitely the best on Bucks that I know of). I've been doing a lot of overtime at work, but as soon as things calm down some, I plan to continue from the beginning of the Geometric Bucks book (even though I have done some Floral Bucks already) and work my way through both of them--New Year's resolution! I can't say enough good things about these books. (I guess you can tell I like them, huh? :-) Happy lacemaking to all in the New Year! Nancy Connecticut, USA
