Decorative Braids for Milanese Lace by Patricia Read, Lucy Kincaid & Jane Read
​Pat Read & Lucy Kincaid's Milanese Lace, An Introduction and New Braids and Designs in Milanese Lace have become two of the most indispensable books on Milanese Lace.

As the back cover of this book says, these books have both been out of print for a number of years.  So, Jane, Pat's daughter, has brought together the braids from these two books, along with 40 new braids to produce what will soon be seen as the ultimate Milanese braid reference book.

It needs to be noted that this is not a reprint of the two earlier books and as such, only contains the braids.  It does not contain any patterns.

As this book has been designed to be an Amazon Print on Demand, it is one of the first lace books to be produced this way.  This means that it should be available for a number of years to come and do away with print runs and going out of print.

What works well?

• The black and white photos and diagrams clearly show the braid construction and coupled with the clear wording, this makes it easy to follow and recreate these braids.

Anything that we need to take into consideration?

• This book is published as Amazon print on demand.  This means that the book will always be cheaper to buy from Amazon so care should be taken when purchasing from different sources. 
• This book is available on kindle.  Due to the nature of how this book is produced, the kindle version looks exceptionally good and is a good alternative for those who do not want a hard copy of the book.
