Hi, I have this books and it is very interesting to me. It give some history on bobbin lace and then goes into contemerary use of the technics used for bobbin lace. There are a lot of wall hangings and pictures shown made with large fibers and home made bobbins. It shows the basic technics to start and goes on from there. There are patterns for some of the hangings and it goes into grounds later in the book. Hope this helps you.
