<p>[QUOTE="elarnia, post: 2737806, member: 159"]So I saw this book listed by one of my fav sellers with a start of $100. Thought it was nice but more than I could go, so I moved on. A while later I looked at it again and saw she had lowered the start price to $25 so I marked it to bid and did so, and got it. It is available on-line, but I thought it would be nice to have my own copy to flip through and in case the on-line copy got deleted. I got it yesterday. What I didn't do was read the description carefully - I was expecting a normal sized book - 9x12 or so - What I got is fantastic and an absolutely huge 15x20 and 13 pounds. Not a book to grab to have something to read in the loo <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />. </p><p><br /></p><p>It's title says part 1, but it actually seems to be a bound copy of all 104 plates from parts 1-4 of the 5 part set. After a bit of research I'm thinking they were published in 1920-22 as 4 loose folio sets of 26 plates each and someone bound some sets. So I just need to find a copy of part 5, which has the text to go with the plates and which it seems wasn't published until 1925/6. I found one in Canada, which I may get. Maybe @nothernlightslodge can advise whether it's worth getting?</p><p><br /></p><p>Haven't really ever been serious about collecting lace, just getting an occasional item I like, but I have been seeing some nice items at affordable prices lately.
