I'd recommend downloading the original from The Professor's site, for the patterns (the full two volumes are available here) and buying Rosemary Shepherd's book for indications on how to work them. I am pleased to own a copy of the reprint with instructions and introduction, well worth the GBP9 I paid for it, but the technical section of the book, while ground-breaking in its time, is over 25 years old, and we have built on the foundations provided. The historical introduction is of course still definitive, but for a practical lace worker buying the edition published by Ruth Bean in 1983 for an astronomic price, no - save your hard-earned for Santina Levey's Lace, a History, and get the same and so much more!
