Loved it

Well researched history of crochet and lace-making. Wonderful photographs.

Beautiful photos, all in all worth the money

This book contains beautiful photos of some remarkable work. It is worth the money for those alone. I feel she overstressed how she felt that crochet is an art from antiquity, particularly since there are no ancient utensils in evidence, but if you can overlook the redundancy of that claim and just enjoy the book for the more recent history and the fantastic photography, you will definately consider it an addition to your reference library as I do.
