The Lace Guild often receives gifts and bequests of books on
lacemaking. Usually these duplicate the Guild's own library holdings,
so they are put up for sale to provide funds for new library
purchases. Currently these books are on view at the Guild's HQ, The
Hollies, so only visitors tend to know about them. We decided to
publicize them more widely by mounting a link on The Lace Guild's
website, where you can download an Excel spreadsheet listing the
books currently available and their prices. If you are interested
click on the url in the signature below and then go to 'Lace
Suppliers' and then to the 'Books' section.
And while I'm posting, I will mention that a few weeks ago I asked if
anyone subscribed to RSS newsfeeds, and a couple of technologically
advanced Arachnes volunteered to test newsfeeds for The Lace Guild
website. Thanks to them, who will already have had a newsfeed about
the item above. For those of you who know what an RSS feed is (it's
explained on the BBC's website) and wish to be at 'the cutting edge
of textile internet news' the url for the feed is
http://www.laceguild.demon.co.uk/rss.xml. (Don't click on this link
children. There, I told you not to...)
