I have followed this thread with great interest, as I finished scanning
the 1907 and 1911 copies of Tebbs just a few months ago. (see
<http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/lace.html#books>) I have
the 1978 reprint, but my aim is always to scan the originals and I was
able to get them through Interlibrary Loan, my wonderful source for so
many of the books on the Professor's site.
Going back to these originals, I don't find the pattern sheets everyone
is talking about. So I checked out the reprint. On the title page, it
says "Facsimile Edition--to which are added recently discovered
patterns prepared by the author." It seems, then, that the original
books didn't have these pattern sheets, which is why they weren't
scanned for the site. This is also an example of why I always go back
to the out-of-copyright editions (pre-1923) for inclusion on the site.
Otherwise, I don't get the book as it was originally written and
besides would also have to deal with the publishers of the modern
reprint.
However, like the rest of you, I have the four pattern sheets in the
back of my modern reprint, and I'm very grateful to you for clearing
this up for me.
