Don't know why this is on both Lace and Lace-chat, as it's clearly a lace
topic, so I'm restricting my reply to Lace to save getting it twice.
A book every time!
I had a choice of Jane Akinson's book "Pattern Design for Torchon Lace" new
on CD or secondhand in book form - I chose the book. Price had nothing to do
with the choice. Books are much easier to peruse at leisure and almost at
any time, anywhere. I also find I can usually remember which book I saw a
pattern in and can go to that book immediately, but I canlt do that with
CDs.
Having said that, I do have a book of Victorian lace cards which also has a
CD of all the images in the book with it, so the cards can either be
photocopied or printed from the CD for use in making other cards. I it
extremely useful to have both methods of reproduction available. I can also
make all sorts of alterations to the images on the computer, which canlt be
done with a photocopy. Of course, I could scan on to the computer and then
make alterations, but having them on CD already speeds thing up by cutting
out that part of the process.
