Brenda's book is already magnificent isn't it? Rather than add more to make the little volume larger, why not do this:
I keep a notebook of "working" sheets such as the glossary and other goodies near by working area at all times. Hole punch and plastic sleeves make it last even longer because in plastic sleeves I resist the urge to mark on the pages. It has ideas for enlarging or reducing patterns from arachnids, thread hints, stitch techniques, as well as other suggestions I feel I just cannot live without. It also hold Project sheets, that tell what I have made and how, photos and who I gave the finished project to. Those are moved to a final notebook for lace projects. Notebook leans again the leg of my light table.

How about making the online sheet less basic by using your sources? ;-) I see lots of advantages: the internet is (or will be soon) available anywhere, anytime (thinking of e.g the iPhone), so you dont have to take a book with you. And you don't have to buy it in the first place. It will never be outdated, but continuously revised and kept up to date. I wish there was a sheet like this for e.g. Brenda's thread sizes ... in fact I think of scanning it and put it into a spreadsheet (for personal use only, of course).
