A compilation of excerpts about East Devon lace bobbins gathered by Brian Lemin from older books during the April 2020 lockdown. Quotations come from Mrs Head (The Connoisseur), Palliser, Moody, Mary Jones and Wright, and cover Honiton and Lyme Regis lace history, bone lace and pins, and the woods and decoration of Devon bobbins. They include lovers' inscriptions, St. Valentine's Day bobbin customs, and bobbin-making at Beer and Branscombe. Lemin warns that the transcriptions may contain scanning errors.
