Hi Spiders,

I wrote to Dover over the weekend explaining about the missing and
duplicated pages in my copy of The Book of Bobbin Lace Stitches and
they are going to replace it with an inspected copy (to be sure all the
pages are there). Free of charge, no questions asked!

Hello Gentle Spiders,
Just decided to let all know my exciting (not) happenings. I can laugh
now, but not when it happened. A couple of days ago, I decided to remove

Lots of you - in the US - read Dave Barry's column in the various
