Looking for two good books, what do you recommend?

[Kustomizer]

I'd like to work on Sheridan style tooling and my wife is interested in making purses, so I was wondering if there were any good books to purchase that would help teach me Sheridan style tooling and how to make purses and handbags? Also, if there are any good step-by-step resources on the web you could point me to that would be great. I will also be searching this site, but mainly I'm looking for good books and other resources, thanks.

Two that I have found to be very helpful are "The Leatherworking Handbook" by Valerie Michael (ISBN 0-304-34511-3) for bag construction and projects and "Sheridan Style Carving" by Bob Likewise (ISBN 0-9679647-0-9) for learning to draw your own Sheridan style patterns.
