Hello again Norma, and everyone
At this link
http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/periodicals/nol_7071_3.pdf
on the pdf page 12, which is the issue page 69 (and 70) is an article by
Osma Gallinger Tod, Lace Inspiration from Belgium - of interest if you
have the booklet :)

I perused this booklet by Osma Galliger Tod Monday when Norma came for
lacemaking Monday. We had a chuckle about the author's saying that bobbin
lace was a very inexpensive hobby. We decided the booklet MUST be VERY
old!
Happy Lacemaking,

Thanks Bev,
I enjoyed reading the article and the photo shown is the same as on page 9 of
my booklet. My photo was not identified so it is nice also to have that
information.

Hello Norma, and everyone
Osma Gallinger Tod was a weaver, basket maker, student of textiles
extraordinaire. She wrote many articles, books and pamphlets. I did not know
that she investigated bobbin lace, but evidently did, by the article you
have. It would be typical of her to do so ;)

Halfway through,
I had a look at the information mentioned by Bev (link is as follows:

Thanks to all for your help and information. It seems that the 1970 p. 16 ad
for THE BELGIAN WAY OF MAKING BOBBIN LACE by Osma Gallinger Tod is selling
for $2.25 which should mean that my copy is older as the price (in my copy) is
listed at $1.50. A very interesting addition to my lace book
