[lace] out of print books

One thing no-one has mentioned is that out-of-print books aren't the only good and interesting books available. No-one has mentioned the current excellent books which are currently in print and earning a tiny amount of royalties for the authors, many of whom are on Arachne. Going to the web

[lace] Lace books

And with my Lace Guild hat firmly in lace, don't forget that The Lace Guild has all of those out of print books in the library, along with all the new ones, (and ones you have never even heard of) and that they are available for loan to UK members. One of the best reasons to belong to the

[lace] Out of print books and public domain

Jacquie has mentioned The Lace Guild's library, - other lace organisations including IOLI have libraries from which their members can borrow, so I would recommend new lacemakers join their national lace organisation - you will then not only have access to the library, but also receive that

[lace] Intellectual Property etc

Hello All I've been catching up reading the numerous comments regarding publishing and the trials of getting a book into print, both Catherine Barley and Alex Stillwell have said much that I agree with. One of the reasons I self-published was to avoid many of the pitfalls of going with a publisher

[lace] Looking for Frank Newborn

Reading through what you had written, gave me the impression that this was not a young man, and doing a Google search has brought up Frank W Newborn, the son of a Tickhill farmer (there is a very interesting write up about their lives on the farm on a family history site), Frank S Newborn. His

RE: [lace] Looking for Frank Newborn

Hi I am not sure whether Sheffield was a silver hallmarking town/city, but Birmingham certainly is. I think (and am happy to be corrected if I am wrong) that items of silver where sent to certain towns to be hallmarked and it would have been possible for Birmingham to have been used for the

[lace] Books

I get regular newsletters from one of the UK's major bookstores, Waterstones, and I've just received an email asking people to send in their stories as to which books have influenced them - quoting from that email:- *** Books are powerful. Books change lives. We want to hear about the

Re: [lace] Looking for Frank Newborn

Hi Spiders All,   I think there was a company called 'Ladlow' or Laidlow' or something similar, quite a few years ago - which may be the company searched for.   I am not at home at the moment, so I can't look up bavck copies of 'Lace', but I am sure they were called something like that.   Carol

[lace] Looking for Frank W. Newborn

Well...I have just about tore my house apart. I did have an email from him back in 2002. Frank had been to my website and was looking at the shuttle I had on my website and was surprise to see the silver shuttle he made back in the day. He was so surprised that he send me an email wanting to know

[lace] intellectual property and self interest

I was glad to read Jacquie's message that she is happy for the UK Lace magazines to be passed on. Some years ago I was given a pile of them from someone who was having to clear out a lot of stuff, and was kind enough to pass them on to me, knowing they were going to a good home! What a waste

Re: [lace] intellectual property and self interest

I have to agree with Liz regarding the sharing of information. Everyone is very concerned about a dying art, on one hand, but then on the other they are more concerned with how the data is disseminated to those who are new and more than likely cannot get the books from normal sources. It would
