This book is a re-release of the 2003 book of the same name by Pauline Turner. You may want to check your existing books to be sure that you don't already have it. It does not seem to have been updated, merely re-released.That was good for me as I don't have a copy of the original book. Ms. Turner provides very interesting historical information about crochet and makes conclusions based on her research. Additionally, and more importantly to me, she provides excellent information about various types of lace crochet.The patterns in the book are based on US crochet terms, so you will see mention of single crochet. There are a good number of illustrations, photographs, and detailed instructions for the various stitch types, motifs, and patterns included in the book. The chapters include: The Basics (basic information on how to crochet), Filet Crochet, Motifs, Joining Motifs, Irish Crochet, Crochet Imitating Other Types of Lace, Edgings, and Adaptation and Finishing.Each of these chapters provide information on how-to as well as examples and/or patterns utilizing the type of crochet mentioned. Yes, there is a pattern available for the gorgeous lace gloves on the cover of the book.Unfortunately, the instructions (though very well done) are written and not provided in visual format. That is probably because the book was written in 2003 prior to the newer trend of including both written and visual patterns. Visual patterns are good for those who don't read a particular language for those who follow patterns visually better than the written word. I can follow either, so this was not a problem for me.The book is well-written and is a fairly comprehensive study in crochet lace making.
