If you enjoy Factual lacemaking history- this is your book. It's dry, textbook writing, but the information is wonderful, copies of orginal documents about the import/export and purches of Honiton lace, the last section of the book is overflowing with photographs of lace so exquisite.....definately worth the purchase even if you do not read the text!
