What's best for one person isn't necessarily best for another. I started with books from the library and help from this list. While I mainly used the Torchon Workbook I found it very useful to have other books to refer to. In the very early stages I could have one book open at how to do a stitch, with another open at the piece I was working on. Later I found that what I didn't understand in one book I could learn by reading a different explanation in another book. So I'd advise beginners to have two books available if possible. My website has a collection of comments from arachne members about beginners books at: http://www.sandbenders.demon.co.uk/bobbinlace/begbook.htm -- Money can't buy everything.
