Review: Excellent starter book - Fast delivery, book condition was new, very happy with service. Haven't fully started into the world of leatherwork yet but wanted a reference point and something to study beforehand. Clearly written with good photographs and takes you from start to finish on tools you will need, techniques and even has a reference for leather suppliers. Leather craft seems to be a dying art but interest in this as well as wood working is very popular and I think making a mini come back. With actual instruction from a teacher in the future, this book I'm sure will become a treasured companion on the journey to produce my own leather projects. I've given the book a 5 star rating to reflect the difficulty in finding a good source material book like this one, nothing is perfect but this is not far from that.
Review: LOVE IT - GREAT FIND - This book was recommended to me to buy when I took an interest in leatherworking, and it was out of stock at the time from a different seller and I was told to come to desertcart for it and lo and behold desertcart had it. So bought it quick smart and I must say that I love the content as it has clear directions on how to use leather and mould it into the shape that you want - which was what was crucial to my being able to work with leather. The explanation on the type of leather to use and which is the best and worse kind is also a bonus. Valerie wrote a great and valuable guide to this craft.

This book was recommended to me to buy when I took an interest in leatherworking, and it was out of stock at the time from a different seller and I was told to come to amazon for it and lo and behold amazon had it. So bought it quick smart and I must say that I love the content as it has clear directions on how to use leather and mould it into the shape that you want - which was what was crucial to my being able to work with leather. The explanation on the type of leather to use and which is the best and worse kind is also a bonus. Valerie wrote a great and valuable guide to this craft.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book
*by R***E on 1 February 2014*

It is easy to understand and informative for the most part. The projects at the end could use a little more explanations and a few more pictures to accompany the instructions. I have read the book cover to cover several times and reference it often. I have just started the craft and working on techniques and craftsmanship. I highly recommend this book.
