"Le Pompe book reprinted in other publications" *** There is a Le Pompe (2) listed within CSArizona publications. I didn't check to see if it is one and the same: www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/books/pompe2.pdf
For those newer to lace, picking up the basic books and those of one's favored technique, can be daunting. It isn't uncommon to see a fairly popular book that sold for $16-25, listed at $500. You can find an obscure used bookseller who will list it for practical prices, but will look it up on Amazon while you are on the phone and see that someone else is asking $200-400 and begin to try to negotiate with you, until you remind them that it is "bait & switch" and illegal to do so. If one is wealthy and wants to save time, or the book is really obscure, then perhaps paying a higher price is worth it but the listings sit a long time. If you really want sticker shock, look things up on Amazon Japan. They are proportionately higher yet.
