Hello All
I've been catching up reading the numerous comments regarding publishing and
the trials of getting a book into print, both Catherine Barley and Alex
Stillwell have said much that I agree with. One of the reasons I
self-published was to avoid many of the pitfalls of going with a publisher
I was glad to read Jacquie's message that she is happy for the UK Lace
magazines to be passed on.
Some years ago I was given a pile of them from someone who was having to
clear out a lot of stuff, and was kind enough to pass them on to me, knowing
they were going to a good home! What a waste
I have to agree with Liz regarding the sharing of information.
Everyone is very concerned about a dying art, on one hand, but then on
the other they are more concerned with how the data is disseminated to
those who are new and more than likely cannot get the books from
normal sources. It would

Hi Brian,
Regarding your suggestion, I must explain that my magazine is only sold
printed. And what Spanish people are doing, with most books and magazines
on sale is scanning and/or photocopying them and selling them or exchanging
them for free download on the web.

From what I've been told, lace book authors and teachers do not become rich

In regard to online entities that host photos, I have noticed a change in the

If one is talking about the current year's issues, the yes The Lace Guild would
