A 1993 Batsford instruction book on bobbin lace by Susanne Thompson, continuing from her earlier Honiton lace book. It opens with a glossary of working methods (back stitch, bowing off, coarse pair, turning stitch, magic thread, etc.) and then gives six step-by-step patterns: Leaf Spray, Rosette, Summer Scene, Cone Flower, Treble Clef and Umbellifer. Each pattern has numbered line diagrams, prickings and detailed instructions for taps, rolls, ribs, side veins, leadwork and fillings.

A 1985 instruction book on making Honiton bobbin lace, by Susanne Thompson. It covers equipment, preparing the pillow and bobbins, and the basic stitches.
