This book contains a classic handbook on the art of decorating leather,
with information on tools and equipment, materials, techniques, common
problems, and many other related aspects. Profusely illustrated and full
of handy tips and invaluable hints, this volume will appeal to anyone
occupied in leatherwork, and would make for a worthy addition to
collections of related literature. Contents include: "Leather Crafting",
"Preface", "Introductory Notes", "Tools and Materials", "Different
Methods of Decorating Leather", "Colouring and Staining", "Gilding",
"Padding for Embossed Work", "Making Up", etc. Many vintage books like
this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. It is with this in
mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable,
high-quality addition complete with a specially commissioned new
introduction on leatherworking.
