The book is also available from Elizabeth Kurella's website, http://www.elizabethkurella.com/bookbyelmkur.html The cost is $20. I assume that shipping will also be applied to that. Clay Clay Blackwell Lynchburg, VA USA - where we're having our third consecutive day of sunshine!! We are within an inch of breaking the region's all-time record for the amount of rainfall in a 30 day period... apparently the record for our area is 21 inches, set in 1986. Records have been kept for the last 125 years. I'd be satisfied if we DIDN'T break any records!! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jane Viking Swanson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "arachne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 4:12 PM Subject: [lace] Re: need information on some thread > Hi Dora S. and all, There is a wonderful book called "Anybody Can Mend Lace > and Linens" by Elizabeth M.
