It's possible that Ruth Bean was licenced,by C C Channer's heirs, to use the pricking, but the copyright remained with her heirs. If that is the case then only the artwork for the Ruth Bean version will be copyrighted to Ruth Bean's heirs. Brenda On 8 Jan 2014, at 08:16, Jean Nathan wrote:

Sue said The only other 'binding' that I would 'enjoy' is the idea of Ulrike Voelker where she produced the torchon books in ringbinders. This is also extremely useful to the lacemaker as it also lays flat! The main problem with this style for me is that it takes up more room on the shelf.
