This book is not the be-all and end-all of lace knitting, but it is a great reference for shetland lace. There are photos of some old elaborate shetland garments (including lacy socks), a brief history, 36 traditional lace stitch patterns (though some are more involved that it seems like more than 36), and then patterns for 7 lace garments. Given the age of the original book, the photos are slightly murky by today's standards.
