Reader Reviews
I am surprised there are no reviews for this lovely book. Heather Toomer has a done a wonderful job organizing the complex field of lace, and crochet....its history and identification. I am delighted to add this to my advanced level reference books for lace and textiles. It would be great for all levels, but I love the fact that I can grow with the book!
