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.
This book contains just edgings, and is also combined with crochet. There is the first illustrated demonstration of the modern join(on page 4) I've ever seen in this book! I tend to geek over watching history in action.
