SUMMARY- Georgia Seitz, one of the great champions of tatting, provided a comb-bound black-and-white compilation of the Riego tatting books, and kept it available for over a decade. This compilation came to me through a retired tatter who was looking for an appreciative home for a significant library of tatting books. I am so grateful for her contributions to the bibliography project, and for the support this project has received from so many unexpected sources. Thank you all. I could not have compiled so extensive a catalog so quickly without that help.

The patterns consist of tatted medallions brought together into fabrics by addition of crochet around the edges of the medallions to join them together. The pictures of the samples are collected all on one page in the back of the book, and are not with the instructions.
