Hello Sue - and Carol!! I am totally in Sue's court on this one! I savor my books. I love to take them to bed for a read or a look-through. My eyes get tired much quicker when I'm reading off a screen than reading a book, and I don't enjoy reading a book on my computer.
However.... having said THAT... I think that there is a tremendous market for a combination of the two!! Without thumbing through my books, I know that there are a few already out which do this. (Anny Noben-Slegers' Bevern folio comes to mind). The ideal, in my opinion, is a folio which would give, in printed form, a booklet with information about the lace which is the topic of the book. Suggested information includes history (if applicable), notes regarding color code for the diagrams, index, bibliography,..... AND.... clear pictures of the projects presented in the folio. The CD would contain full-color (printable) diagrams, prickings (a variety of scales for each project would be a bonus if alternate threads were indicated!!), and close-up diagrams for tricky sections, with additional explanations. Not asking for much!! ; ) Clay -- Clay Blackwell Lynchburg, VA USA -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Sue" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I would plump for a book every time because sometimes I don't want to > make anything but just to sit and browse through my lace books to decide > what to do next and I do not think I would get the same pleasure with > cd's > > Sue M Harvey > Norfolk UK > > - > To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: > unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
