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.
