It's an old book (1908) and written from a point of view that makes it seem
very old.
The glory of this book is its 120 full-page plates, excellent photos so that
you can
really see the details. What meager text there is is mostly devoted to
explicating
these pictured laces. If you are looking for a book on the history of lace,
this book
is not it. But if you want to know the differing techniques of many different
laces,
this book would be of interest. I bought it in 1986 and thought it worth the
price
($120), which might give you some idea for comparison with the copy you are
considering.
