[lace] The Royal Lacemaker
I managed to get a copy of The Royal Lacemaker from my local library. At first I found it a bit tedious with all the evil squire has his wicked way bits but I persevered and once our heroine had developed a bit of backbone I enjoyed the book.

Re: [lace] The Royal Lacemaker
I found it on Amazon for a reasonable price for a paperback. It's not great literature but I did enjoy the story and the description of life then. The author knows how to make bobbin lace and the description of making lace seemed right to me though I would have liked to read more about it. A fun read. Ruth Lyon In sunny Dubuque, Iowa.

[lace] The Royal Lacemaker, book available to USA.
Hi, I want to thank Fran (I believe from Australia) who directed me to the Book Depository. Since this book is not for sale in the USA and is only available in the UK. I contacted them and was able to purchase the book The Royal Lacemaker by Linda Finlay. I paid $8.91 for it, no delivery charges. That's about the going rate for a paper back book in the USA. I received the book in about a weeks time. I have read the book from cover to cover, couldn't put it down. I enjoyed reading it and found it interesting about the ordeals some lacemakers went through in those days. This story had a happy ending, which I like. I highly recommend it. For anyone in the USA the address for the Book Depository is: bookdepository.com They advertise, free delivery worldwide. Patsy A. Goodman California, USA -- Women are Angels.

Fw: Re: [lace] The Royal Lacemaker, book available to USA.
I just bought it from amazon.com Saw David Collyer's review. Lyn in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA, where the weather in the last two days has been golden warm sunshine. Rain tomorrow, probably followed by winter. My email sends out an automatic message. Arachne members, please ignore it. I read your emails.

[lace] The Royal Lacemaker
Dear Friends, Last night I reluctantly finished reading The Royal Lacemaker. What a lovely read: such an unusual topic and also a page turner. It certainly informs you about the lifestyles of the poor women who made lace in Devon in the 1830s.

Re: [lace] The royal lacemaker
Dear Diana and others who are interested, I asked my local book supplier about this British book. As of today, this is what she reported back: 'The Royal Lacemaker is an overseas book not available here. As soon as it's out, we could do an overseas order, but it will be close to thirty US dollars for a paperback. I (Jeri) will wait for comments from others before diverting lace book money to buy a work of fiction. So, somebody who is lurking - here is your chance to tell us about this book and whether it accurately portrays lace making and the known history of lace in the lace villages of Devon!
