Historybuff Report post Posted January 22, 2011 "Dictionary of Leather-Working Tools, 1700-1950; and the tools of allied trades". By R.A. Salaman; The Astragal Press; ISBN 1-879335-72-7. This is one of the most comprensive books on leather tools that I have ever run across. It not only shows very good pen & ink drawings of the tools, but describes what they are for. At 377 pages it' covers a range of topics. The book covers 1,100 different tools Chapters include Bookbinder Boot and shoe maker Driving-belt maker Gut string naker Harness maker and saddler Glove maker This is just six out of thirteen chapters. The book also includes a list of tool makers. This volume is so comprehensive that I got rid of all my other leather books except for Hand Sewing and Leathercraft Tools by Al Stohlman.
