I concur with what Clay says - Pat Earnshaw's identification books are absolute must have's for anyone interested in identifying the various types of lace. My copy of Machine Laces and Lace Machines is also mch read - although I confess to only taking in about a quarter of it, but it really made me appreciate how clever the machines (or rather their designers) were and are, andhow wrong we are to say 'only machine made'.
