Wow Jeri, What a great idea of recording in your book inventory, the price that you paid and the prices the booksellers are now asking! I must get myself more organised and do this also.
I have a similar title: TREADWIN, Mrs.: ANTIQUE POINT and HONITON LACE. Ward, Lock & Tyler. c. 1875. Sm. 4to, 71pp. text, 82 illus. + 9pp. related adverts. Reddish brown cloth with gilt dec. This book also has the large fold out horizontal pages (patterns) and I have just seen it advertised for GBP 110.00. The Honiton lace merely refers to Honiton Braid, which is another name for the machine made braids used to make these Point laces. This is a great reminder of the value of my lace book library. Annette Meldrum in warm and sunny South Coast, NSW Australia Jeri wrote: most likely that Tess scanned it for the Professor's site - so you may go and take a look. Daisy Waterhouse Hawkins "Old Point Lace and How to Copy It" is title on cover. Inside title is "Old Point Lace and How to Copy and Imitate It". It has 17 illustrations by the author, and 20 pages of text, plus 36 pages of adverts for other books from publisher, Chatto & Windus. The illustration pages are horizontally long, thus folded. Weak or broken in the folds. I paid $20 in 1999.in a store here in Maine. The book had come from a local library. My book inventory list shows that I saw it somewhere in 2002 for $150. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
