I went to Amazon.com and read the reviews... They were quite good... One might wonder if they were spontaneous, but oh we'll. One person said she loved crafts, and the book made her want to make Flemish Lace! Others commented on the interesting combination of history and art. So... I ordered it for my Kindle. Look forward to reading it.
