Bob Park- Creating Western Floral Designs

[SulaSaddlery]

Hello all!

 

I am desperately searching for the book by Bob Park, Creating Western Floral Designs. I owned this book in the past and either misplaced it or loaned it out and have forgotten who. Does anyone know where I might find it in stock? Does anyone have one they would like to sell? Any leads are appreciated. 

 

Thank you!

I feel your pain man.
Only online source of the book that I could find was priced ... well ... crazy high.
I tried calling his place of business, and I'm not sure if he's still in business.

Whoa! Crazy high is right! It's the only book/method that ever made sense to me. Shame it's so hard to find.

I wonder why it went out of print. It is shown in Amazon as out of stock. It seems so popular and everyone  wants it.

It was privately printed by/for Bob Park, not by a publishing house.  No ISBN number.

[SUP]

Oh. So there is no way it can get printed again? I wonder.

The book has proved to be popular. He should be able to find a publisher. So many people looking for it.

Yeah - and I called his shop, twice. First time I left a message, second time the call was declined.

That's too bad. I wonder why.

See if you can find Hidepounder on this site. That was Bob Park's member name.

His wife recently passed away. That is likely one factor.

Oh! Then it's understandable. Vey sad.

One of the finest individuals I never met in leather work. I think I may have spoken to him on the phone once but most likely e-mails. He never declined to answer any of my many questions. I wish him and family the best. Hard when losing your mate.
