[lace] Second hand lace books

2007-08-23 Thread Catherine Barley
I came across two books on eBay which, in my opinion, are two of the most
valuable books that a beginner can have in her collection!



So, if you're just getting started and want to have a couple of great books,
here's your chance!





Dear Spiders



I had occasion to visit The Hollies Last week before visiting the 'Seven'
exhibition at Dudley and feel you should be aware that they have a bookshelf
full of second hand lace books for sale which are duplicated copies of those
already held in their library.  There were 2 or 3 copies of the Tebbs book
mentioned by someone which also had the patterns in the pocket at the back.
Do have a look at their list of books for sale, if you are looking for a
specific title.

[lace] Second-hand Lace Books (and more on RSS feeds)

2005-05-11 Thread Jean Leader
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...)
