How nice of Joy to offer this book as a free raffle. You all might like to know that this vintage book was priced $60 in 2002, when it was acquired for my lace library. It is a small book of 85 pages, and useful for lace identification. There are no lace-making instructions in it. Also, no color plates.

Send entries to joybeeson at comcast.net with the word "raffle" in the subject line. I'll draw names on Friday the thirteenth; there's a library book sale that day, so that cuts down on the dates I have to remember. -- Joy Beeson west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A. - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
