Re: [lace] Lace book on project Gutenberg, author Goldenberg
Added to the subject line: "author Goldenberg". When this subject was raised by Liz in Missouri in late November, I wrote to her privately to ask the name of the book, since it was not in the original Arachne correspondence copy I received. If others are interested, the book is "Lace Its Origin and History" by Samuel L. Goldenberg, with a 1904 copyright in author's name. My book came from Tess as a gift for the lace library here. She would have scanned it for the Arizona site before it became mine. Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace and Embroidery Resource Center - In a message dated 12/2/2015 4:44:57 P.M.

Re: [lace] Lace book authors
I can fill in some details about POD companies in the US. I have compiled several articles on a blog page should you want more information.  I feel almost as proud of the fact that I found my way through the self-publishing maze and was able to publish/print my book without the possibility of loosing money as I am of the book itself!  The site is: http://nichebookpublishing4cheap.blogspot.com/ If you figure out my system I have alot of information about publishing niche market books there. I used a Google Blogger site and each article is a separate page/post. There are a couple of posts with no information in themthose are on my 'to do' list. In a nutshell there are only two or three 'true' self-publishing print on demand companies: CreateSpace (affiliated with Amazon), Lightening Source and now IngramSpark. All the other POD companies are fee-based or author services based which means that they want alot of money from you to create your book for you. As a published author, you already have done this or know how to do it yourself, thus the 'true' POD companies are what you want. You upload your print ready cover and interior (2 separate files), they analyze it for print-readiness, then inform you to order a proof copy.   I have researched Lightening Source (LS) and CreateSpace (CS) extensively and have published my findings (go to the #10. post at this address: http://nichebookpublishing4cheap.blogspot.com/ ).  IngramSpark is a relatively new company that I need to research and include in my website. CreateSpace, in my experience, is THE way to go. LS does about the same thing but charges an upfront cost (not too bad!) to get going. CS does not. All it costs to get a book published with CS is a proof copy--the actual, end cost of the book plus postage---in my case less than $10. When I had to send a book to Canada, shipping direct from CS was the most cost-effective way to go.  I have been very happy with the quality.  So what I would suggest is to have your book digitally stored with CS and then when you get a US order, you can order (through the internet) with them and have the books sent to your client. The only other option I can think of is to have someone in the US be your order person.

Hi Brenda I have looked into this idea. The only print-on-demand printing company I could find that prints in UK, USA and Australia is too poor a quality (pulp fiction) for my diagrams and photos. They also require you to have separate accounts for each country, pay the set-up cost for each country and pay you in the local currency, with all the conversion and tax implications that brings. I was not going there. However, they will send out individual books at a cost of �.20 per book on top of the postage (that was 3 years ago). I quote cost of book plus postage and require to be paid in sterling (PGB) by cheque or PayPal. I do not use a commercial PayPal account. Apart from the first flurry, about 6 months when a book comes out, my PayPal receipts drop down and it costs about 7% to use a domestic account. Ignore any threats they make, they are only trying to make you use the more expensive account, just keep less than �,900 in the account.

I believe I own one of the largest collections here in Malta, probably around 150 books mostly about lace, but also some tatting and embroidery. Karen in Malta. --- Oh! :My! I guess you have not read my regular postings on Arachne. When I retired, I had to build a home, designed by me. This is because all the houses shown to me had too many windows and doors in rooms that would interrupt book shelves, or the floors would not support the very heavy weight of a concentrated collection of books. My library consists of over 4,000 volumes from around the world. Mostly, it is about Lace and Embroidery. However, I think we need to study these in context with how they were/are used in order to properly honor the women/men who came before us or are now practicing these arts. Therefore, there are also many books on Textiles and Costumes (to which Lace and Embroidery are applied), Quilts, Beading, Ribbons, Antiques, Decorating (with), Tools for making, Machine Embroidery, Sewing, many related crafts, How-to-Teach, Color Theory, Design, Conservation Restoration, History, Art -- everything that one would want to have if they were doing research, including a 19th C. encyclopedia (before World Wars rearranged nations). In the Lace category of my inventory, there are over 1,000 titles. These include carefully-selected books on Crochet and Knitting. In a separate storage room there are periodicals on these subjects, including Guild bulletins of the 20th and 21st C. from the U.S. and U.K. There a re also Victorian era publications of needlework and many booklets that needlework shops used to sell. These have not been inventoried. There is also a studio (largest room in house) with ample storage. It was used for teaching, and now it is used for storage of paper files, supplies, lace, embroidery, etc. Since the beginning of Arachne in 1995, I have been writing about the need in America for a International Lace and Embroidery Museum. Guilds do a lot, but just do not do the subjects justice when it comes to pressing for a all-encompassing collection, exhibitions and study opportunities. Lace and embroidery have traveled together through history, sharing the same clothing, household linens and ecclesiastical works of thread art. Guilds focus too narrowly for a comprehensive understanding of the glory of lace and embroidery. Museums have failed us in the U.S. We are a nation composed of all nationalities in the world. Women (mostly) have brought their skills here, own wonderful things, and have no permanently-protected organized place to donate them for future generations to study. I think this is a job for The Smithsonian, which is paid for by the taxes paid by everyone (about 1/2 of us being female). They think nothing of spending billions on a Space museum. Most other museums under them are focused on a male-dominated society. An exception might be the American Textile Museum in Lowell MA which was rescued recently by The Smithsonian. However, men owned/operated the textile businesses; women worked for the men. Textiles have been a major force in our economic history and they have been neglected terribly in museums - from the Colonial period until we now permit (blame Washington) cheap imports to dominate. Here we sit. Stalled. Out on the internet somewhere is my proposal for a museum and library. It is as relevant today as it was when written over 15 years ago. Inspiration came from places like Gawthorpe Hall, England.

Re: [lace] Lace book prices - silly prices
There are however some books that command ludicrous prices everywhere. a particular (non lace related) book I've been after for quite some time rarely if ever shows for less than £240 and many times goes for between £250 and £400 second hand! I believe it's original list price only 15 years ago was $45! in the years I've searched for it I've only come across it about 5 times though and even Abe books which is usually fantastic at this sort of thing has it on a very sporadic basis.

Re: [lace] Lace book prices
I'd like to think that all the bidders on ebay are nice people but unfortuantely I think that some may not be. We have been hit by single high bids on other things as well - I collect Australian WWI sweetheart brooches and have found that when I need to put in a max bid because I won't be able to check neear the end of the bidding (normally because I'm at work) I see a single high bid that takes me up to my maximum.

Re: [lace] Lace book prices
To Liz and Jean - Sadly, another thing going on with bidders on eBay is that there are people out there who are inexperienced bidders, and jump right into the bidding. One or two people will increase their bid by a dollar or so at a time, and drive the bid up in the early days of the auction. When I see this happen with something I have my eye on, I know I'll have to be there at the ending bell. If this isn't practical, I just stop watching it. It does make me nuts to see something go way beyond it's reasonable value by two inexperienced bidders in a war with each other. A couple of years ago, someone paid over $150 for the original Skovgaard book, and after that there were lots of postings of similar books with inflated buy it now prices. They didn't sell, of course, and then it was a very long time before the book was available on ebay again. More experienced bidders decide what they are willing to pay and then stick to it. They know the value of the item and weigh that against their desire to own it. But they don't bid until the end of the auction. If their Max is hit before then, they don't have that feeling that their item is being lost and get sucked into a bidding war that drives the price up.

Re: [lace] Lace book prices
We have been bidding on different items and what I am noticing is that a few hours before the end of the bidding, if no one has bid on the item apart from me, someone comes in and make one bid higher than I've initially offered but not too high to push me out of the bidding. They then don't bid again. I've looked at the bidder's history and on one item I bought this person has bid 15 times and never won anything, yet the book I bought went for £3 but until an hour before the bidding ended it was at 99p. Am I missing something here? I am confused about what you think is going on that makes you suspicious. Do you think the other bidder is simply running up the price with no intention of buying? Or that she only bids on things you are bidding on? I think that what you are describing is an auction. Two people have decided what the maximum is that they want to pay, and the item goes to the person who wants to pay the most. Is there some obligation on the part of bidders to bid early in the process or for sellers to sell at the price that the item has sat at for the longest time at the auction? The other bidder doesn't know your maximum bid. She only knows her maximum bid. She could put in her maximum bid at the end of the auction when there is no time for either of you to increase it, and have you outbid her, due to the automatic bidding process. That is apparently what happened. A lot of auctions are decided in the last hour of bidding. The great thing about the automatic bidding process is that you can decide exactly how much you are willing to pay for an item in advance, and then you don't need to think about it any more.

Re: [lace] Lace book
I bought this book on ebay a couple of months ago, and it is really a book of designs. The pictures are white lace on black pages, and many (if not most) are from old drawings. For the money, it isn't a bad thing to have, but it wasn't what I expected. It would be fun to play with some of these designs, if I ever had the time or inclination.
