SUMMARY- I am very excited to add this little booklet to the bibliography. It's my first from the time period that Mdlle. Riego was publishing her famous tatting books! Two thirds of this book was dedicated to tatting. Mrs. Warren incorporated chains and joins into her work, so she was quite up-to-date in her skills. Picots were referred to as Pearls. Her instructions were very well broken down and surprisingly easy to read - I made up a couple of the edgings just to see if I could do it only following her instructions. Designs are what we think of now as traditional, and there is some sophistication to Mrs. Warren's. I hadn't expected nearly as much as what I got from this small booklet. When my skills improve with Photoshop, I may try to digitally clean up a copy of this one and do a small reproduction run just to keep it in circulation in the tatting community. I have no idea how many of the original booklet survived, since I bought it from England and have no idea what the market is like there.
