Yep. I try to do a Google search on all the books to figure out what they
actually are - a lot of eBay sellers give you pretty much no info, and Amazon
has the same problem with some rare books.

It's not very cheap, and even if it was, there are plenty of equally cheap
bobbin lace books around. And no, I don't make needle lace, or anything
whatsoever other than bobbin lace <g>.
