I have written to Roseground to find out if they are going to stock it in the UK. They seem to have the best selection of European books. I use Ulrike's book a lot, but find that most people who have it expect it to work by osmosis from the book shelf. Once you work through some of her

What's the problem with mentioning a book on Arachne if it's lace-related? I am very far behind on my list emails right now because I am busy with Passover preparations. If someone has a question or needs clarification, please write to me directly and I will usually answer within 24 hours. Best

For my money the best new lace book in recent months (years) is Jane Atkinson's 'Contemporary Lace for You'. I even paid postage to get it before Lace Guild Convention as I wasn't sure if it would be available there. It was - along with Jane and some of the lace from the book. It's not a
