For traditional lace Gallego (Spain) I recommend the following catalog is free edition
Raizame do encaixe Galego
This sampler seeks to recover, unite and make available to all lacemakers forgotten techniques and models, with so as not to lose, since many of them "die" with the few old ladies who still remember how to work them. This loss would be irreparable because all the drawings and the less contaminated techniques are the characteristics that make the Galician lace and giving it an identity.

Has anyone seen this Flanders book?
Early Laces - a series of 3 books, by Gil Dye.
These 3 small books are a joy to read. They are filled with history, as well as photos, patterns, and working diagrams. They are great to just sit and read, besides making the lace from her patterns.
Mrs Dye has studied the Early Laces in collections, museum, and Portrait paintings, and has reproduced the lace as closely as possible. She has even made her own spangles, (sequins) to try to replicate the lace decorations as closely as possible.
She refers to Le Pompe, and New Modelbuch, and has worked lace from their patterns, too.
Pictures of the original lace, and a bit about it is with each pattern and working diagram, and the back pages of the book are filled with prickings of similar laces.
Her prickings are precise, and her working diagrams are very clear.
If you are interested in the Early Laces, then these books are gems.
A 4th book has just been published, but I have not got that one – yet!.
***********
The Borris Lace Collection. A Unique Irish Needlelace.
By Marie Laurie and Annette Meldrum.
This is a soft covered book published by Sally Milner Publishing company, and is in the Milner Craft series.
Borris is a small Georgian town in Ireland where they made a form of Tape lace. The industry ran from 1846, to the 1960, when it petered out, and unsold stock, patterns etc were stored away in Borris House, the home of the Kavanagh family – to whom the book is dedicated.
The text is very readable, and the introduction tells how 2 Aussie lacemakers became involved in its “discovery”.
Part 1 tells of the history surrounding the lace, and the town, and is illustrated with photos of pieces of lace, and old family photos. There is an interesting chart, naming the pieces of lace,, the cost, the lacemakers name, and her age! 6 yards of No. 40 edging paid 9/- (9 shillings!!)
Part 2 explains the lace features, and unique techniques, - again well illustrated with photos.
Part 3 has projects to work with patterns and instruction, working diagrams, and clear photos of completed pieces.
The text throughout the book is excellent, and the book is hard to put down!
It is beautifully published on glossy paper, with the complete catalogue of the 72 pieces of Borris lace at the back, followed by an index, and biographies of the 2 authors.
This is a “Must have” book for anyone interested in needlelace, and will be a boon to the library.
*************************
Antique Lace Patterns.
This is an A4 sized soft cover book of about 48 pages, with a 5 page introduction, and a bibliography.
The author is a free-lance artist, designer and illustrator, who is also involved with the International Design Library. She has a special interest in Decorative Arts and Needlework designs.
I believe the designs are her drawings of the lace in various Museums and collections.
Grounds are generally not shown – except for some needlelaces when she shows the bars (brides or legs).
The front and back covers are shown as completed lace, and in colour, but the patterns are in black and white, and both cover patterns are inside the book.
If you are good at drawing up patterns and working out the grounds you will have a lot of inspiration from this book, but it is not for the novice who needs a proper pricking to work from.
