Introduction to Bobbin Lacemaking by Rosemary Shepherd
This book by Rosemary Shepherd was written with the idea that it could be used for distance learning.

Rosemary is based in Australia and a number of her students were such a distance that they couldn't attend classes.

What works well?

One of the things that I like so much about Rosemary's teaching is that she uses colour and thicker thread. This helps people learning to see how the threads are moving through the lace and easily see if they have made a mistake.

This book is out of print, but frequently comes up on eBay.
