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'.
