BookWyrm: Antique Lace by Heather Toomer | Useful and well-described lace identification book

My review of this helpful ID book. People often ask for a good one to check on their acquisitions, and this one is reasonably priced and accessible. #laceidentification #bobbinlace #needlelace #tatting #textilehistory #Lace

I was testing out how to make a link from BookWyrm. I'm trying to add reviews of lace books there, partly as a reminder to me of what's in them, but also as a way to figure out what's worth owning and what's worth borrowing.

Neat! Thank you! Sounds like you recommend owning it?

Yes, this is one that I own and would recommend as a reference book. You won't read it cover to cover, but you want to have it around to pull it out when trying to assess something, you know? And the image quality is good. Much better cost point than the Santina Levey bible.
