SUMMARY- I do not have a copy of this book yet - my friend Tim acquired a copy and while he was cataloging his own burgeoning stash of books, decided to compare his catalog against mine to see what I was missing.(Thank you, Tim!!!) This is one of them. If you have a copy you're willing to part with, I would love to acquire this for the Craft Bibliography Project archive, and so that I can finish reviewing it here. All I know about it is that it isn't a tatting pattern book, but rather a book for using tatting in various projects. Tim also scanned the ToC for me so that I could include that here to tantalize you as well in helping me search for a copy of this.

UPDATE: Success! I was able to track down Gillian on Facebook, and she kindly gave Tim permission to make a copy for me. (Thank you, both! There is great joy for me in filling in a missing piece of our history.)

This appears to be a series of articles Gillian wrote on the subject gathered into one PDF. Her introduction doesn't say who she wrote the articles for, but it was likely for Georgia Seitz and BellaOnline (I'll ask...). The instructions are clear and there are great pictures showing the steps taken to successfully mount lace on linen, both as an edging, and as an insert. She gives great advice.
