This book contains a vintage article on the subject of leather working,
being a collection of entertaining and commonly unknown facts related to
leather, skinning, and tanning. With interesting historical information
and a wealth of handy tips, "Something About Leather" will be of
considerable utility to modern readers with a practical interest in the
subject, and it would make for a useful addition to collections of
allied literature. Contents include: "As to the Tanning of Leather", "As
to Alligators", "As to a Curiosity in Leather", "As to the History of
Leather", "As to the Making of Leather Things", and "As to the Things
Which are Made". Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce
and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable,
modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction
on leather crafting.
