Hello Alex, Bev and everyone, I have that book also and knew Jan Geelen. I don’t know, Bev, who told you he wrote the book in a dialect, because it is written in correct Dutch. Jan originally was a teacher in a basic school. He would not write a lace book in the dialect of the region he lived in. In my book there is a short list of Dutch lace words and their translations in English, French and German. But of course despite that making a good translation is difficult for you. So a better a choice would be a book originally written in English. Besides that, I think the book of Jan is a very good instruction how to make Rosaline Perlé.
