Dear Lacemakers,

Sherry's letter to the list may have been confusing, because she quoted me 
and I wrote just to her with information - not to Arachne.

Details of the books Robin referred to:  

1.  "Gozo Lace - An Introduction to Lace Making in the Maltese Islands" ISBN 
99909-932-0-5 second edition 1999 paper cover, 175 pages, cost me $40

2.  "Gozo Lace - A Selection of Bobbin Lace Patterns Designed by Dun Guzepp 
Diacono (1847-1924)" ISBN 99909-982-1-3 1998 hard cover, 68 pages, cost me $45.

Both books are in English and both contain patterns.  In terms of 
instructions, the first is much more comprehensive.
