5.0 out of 5 stars Really excellent how-to book, 19 Oct 1999
I'd like all how-to books to be made this way. It just tells you everything you need to know in a clear manner, and moves you on the way of leatherworking through projects of increasing difficullty. If you wanna know about leathercrafting, you can't use your money better.

5.0 out of 5 stars All you need to know, 16 Jul 2003
By Marc Whiffen "Marc Whiffen" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It is often difficult when you approach a subject with little or no knowledge as to the best place to start. This was the same with me and leatherworking.

However, this book has proved to be invaluable to me. It is clear, concise and easy to follow, taking you from the basics to advanced with confidence. There are no corners cut and the manner is authoritative without being intimidating.

A thoroughly good manual and an essential for anyone taking up this fascinating craft.

5.0 out of 5 stars Leatherworkers Handbook, 4 Jun 1997
By A Customer
A breath of fresh air! It has been a long time since a book about Leathercraft held my interest like this one does. I have worked in this field for more than twenty years and books on the craft are fairly hit and miss with the subject. Valeries book is well layed out and very informitive. Good descriptive text and pictures, make the projects therein, a breeze. Although it is a small selection of how to skills for the Leathercrafter, the selection is different and challenging. Highly recommended for schools etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for the beginner, informative yet accessible.
From fumbling blindly and trying to learn the basics of what seems to be a dying skill I was delighted to discover Valerie Michael's book. Read more
