I bought a copy of this from SMP only about 12 months ago.
It is a fasinating book whether or not you intend to make the lace and if you
have the urge to try some then Gillian Dye gives both period and modern uses
for the lace.
I'd certainly recommend it as a book

Dear Janet
as you are particularly interested in Elizabethan and Renaissance lace, I
would recommend a little book called ELIZABETHAN LACE by Gillian Day. She
concentrates on plaited bobbin lace, which is the basis of the Elizabethan
style. She also gives basic instructions for simple needle-lace, reticella
and lacis. There's a lot in a small space!
I don't alas know whether it is still in print, but do get hold of it if you
can.
Published in 1995 by the Elviston Press, Boston Spa, England.
ISBN 0 9522709 35
Good hunting!
