Patricia, You can view an electronic copy of this book at: http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/lace.html#books
Scroll down to the book section, past the books listed by title, and down to "p" for Pollen under the authors names, and you will find the book in several pdf files. I have seen the book once. They have a copy at the De Young Museum in San Francisco. From what I recall it had a lot of nice pictures and is good for reference/history/id.
