Filet Crochet from Yesterday (1999, Paperback)

I am a 60+year old woman who likes the handiwork of the late 19th/early 20th centuries. We moved from a ranch-style California home to a Southern Texas custom home. I want to make classic accessories and furnishings for my new home. I also want to leave these antique-type handiworks for my children and their children. I had hoped this book would be a good source of such patterns and a good addition to my growing collection but was disappointed that the description did not mention that this was a re-publish or reprint of two previous volumes that I already owned. Sure, the description included pictures but when someone owns many patterns, books, and kits it's impossible to remember them all so a better disclosure of the source or publishing information would be appreciated. In it's smaller format it is easier to store but harder to read and use. I was disappointed but added it to my library with the thought of passing it along to one of my growing circle of fellow crocheters as I do with most of my duplicates.
