A short illustrated glossary by Brian Lemin (January 2010) naming and describing turned shapes found on lace bobbins, such as ball-and-ring (caterpillar), baluster, barley-sugar twist, reel-and-bead, sausage, sunk bead and straight taper. Each entry has photographs of bobbins or turned sections, and many definitions are borrowed from furniture-turning terminology. The final page covers lace-bobbin-only terms such as tomato sandwich, bees knees, waisted/belted, collars and bishop's crozier.
