As you all know there are many, many books ‘out there’ on tatting and the new books now hitting the shelves are ones that really are hilarious. I think they’re a joke. I DO NOT recommend you to buy them.
They’re generated from other people’s work and often include sections of text ‘lifted’ from older books/web sites. But what makes me laugh is this new generation of books. You don’t even have to look very closely to see that in the first picture for needle tatting the cover has bobbin lace on it
The second ‘author’ appears to have ‘stolen’ her cover photo from the first person which is amusing.
Now when we come to the third picture “Mastering Shuttle Tatting” you’ll notice that the book cover has some type of lace which I can’t identify but it certainly isn’t shuttle tatted!!!
