If you are a member of the International Organization of Lace, Inc, the organization has a lending library and is now sending books to members outside the US. You could borrow some books to preview and decide whether they are worth buying.

Thanks for all the recommendations of where to buy books. But I guess I didn't make myself clear enough. The main thing I was asking for what which books I should be looking for to learn Binche, Mechlin, Valenciennes, Point de Paris etc. Like, are the books by Vera Cockuyt any good? I have the book on Valenciennes by Annick Staes, and I will see if I can figure any of it out this weekend, but I find it hard to get around in the book, since it has 4 languages, so have to page through quite a bit to get to the next instructions....I guess maybe I'll copy the English pages and put them in a binder, might be easier to find my way around. I am probably going to have to wait a while with buying any books, unless I can get them from our one and only Canadian dealer, since our dollar has dropped considerably against all currencies, like the Euro was worth CAD$1.32 a month ago, now it is over 1.40, and the pound was around 1.90, and now is over 2.00 (and 6 months ago it was around $1.60). It's the reliance on oil export that is killing our economy right now. But in the meantime I would like to know which books are good for learning these laces. I have been burned before with buying books that ended up being useless, one of the detriments of not being able to see the actual book. *Marianne* Marianne Gallant m...@shaw.ca threadsnminis.blogspot.ca - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
