I am taking an unusual step of sharing with you my correspondence with a seller on eBay of a set of four named family bobbins being sold as separate items. As you will see in my letter to the seller, I have no problem with commercial transactions, that is what makes the world go around, just

Hi Nancy: Statistical analysis isn't my thing, but I do have some thoughts: - Only a small number of people buy single topic lace-making books, but when bobbin lace is included in a book with a wider-ranging content - take Weldon's Encyclopedia of Needlework, for instance; or de Dillmont's, -
