Deal Crocheters, Correspondence about a pattern from Annie's Attic has prompted me to provide the following recommendation - no patterns, it's about the art of crochet and its history:
"A Living Mystery - The International Art & History of Crochet" by Annie Louise Potter, A. J. Publishing International, 1-879409-00-3, Hardback, 1990. I paid $40 3 years ago for a very good copy. Lots of historic lace and a wonderful bibliography. Lovely pictures - most in color. I promise you visual delight and informative text. Annie's travels and pictures of contemporary crocheters in Turkey, Spain, Crete, Yugoslavia were fascinating. The international coverage may be of particular interest to our international membership. If you are ever planning to present a program or write about crochet through the centuries - you need to know about this book, now out-of-print. A local library or a university library may provide Inter-library Loan service to you. Copy the Bibliography for your permanent files. It will be useful.
