I'm sorry if I offended you with the information which I posted. It is a fact that many of the things posted on the Archives were downloaded and then sold for profit. I stated clearly that I did not know which book you were referring to, but that many e-books related to lace which are offered could have been downloaded from the website.
But as a point of information, I went to the particular book you were referring to. The pictures are too small to read, but the style of the book and the pictures are clearly not 21st century. In addition, the seller urges us to look at "our" other books, and among them is Charlotte Kellogg's "Bobbins of Belgium", which is certainly one of the books on the website, and the author is not the same as the book you have brought to our attention. So your suggestion that the seller wrote the books him/herself is just not possible. I stand by my caution: if you see a book listed on eBay on disk, or as a download, you can save yourself money by going to the website and downloading it from the source! If you want it on disk, you will get many, many more books as well on the disk which contains the information you're interested in.
