Book Reviews of The Leatherworking Handbook: A Practical Illustrated Sourcebook of Techniques and Projects

Book Review: A must read for beginners
Summary: 5 Stars

I started out working with leather on my own with some help from my local leatherworking supplier. Unhappy with the results I was getting I decided on buying this book and I was not disappointed. The quality of my work is far better now than I could have hoped for. A must read for beginners.

Summary of The Leatherworking Handbook: A Practical Illustrated Sourcebook of Techniques and Projects

Valerie Michael?a founding member of the Association of Design Leatherworkers?has created the definitive guide to this popular and age-old craft. Oriented to the beginner, it thoroughly presents all the materials, tools, and key techniques in easy-to-follow photographs: finishing edges, paring and hand-stitching, making pockets, attaching studs and straps, and decorating surfaces. The well-chosen projects take into account developing skills, and range from belt and wallets to quilted items and bags. An invaluable reference work.
 
?...Instructions are concise enough to offer craft enthusiasts of differing skill levels a range of projects to undertake.??Booklist.
 
?Excellent and easy-to-understand introduction to classic leatherworking.??Library Journal.
