Notes
- The books in the library have been grouped according to the information they contain and as such the same book can appear in several lace groups e.g. Book 3 Bobbin Lace Making by Doris Southard is in the Lace groups Brussels, Bucks, Honiton, Tonder, Torchon because it contained chapters on each of these lace types.
- If you borrow a book which you believe should be grouped differently please advise the librarian
Should you have any queries as to the contents of a book, or where to find particular requirements, reassessment material etc., your librarian is only too happy to help with advice.
