Emily left me a comment. (Thanks, Emily!) She got a reply from the Brooklyn Museum of Art about the Knitting Lace book. Here's what it says:
Fans of Knitting Lace Publication:
We appreciate your interest in the future republication of our catalog Knitting Lace. We are now working on the necessary steps to be taken to grant permission for a reprint of the catalog.
We will keep you informed as we move forward.
Thank you for expressing your interest.

Woo-hoo! Looks like we made them wake up and pay attention. Thanks to everyone for contacting the museum to help make this happen. I'll post when I hear who is the lucky publisher who will be reprinting the book.
hi! Lovely shawl, by the way.
ReplyDeleteI had written some time ago to try and get "Knitting Lace" reprinted - i kniew the interest was huge and I also knew that our library system's copy was likely to disappear soon since it was now so valuable. I am glad to hear that the knitters have finally gotten their attention - can't wait to see the book!
