The art of making leather cases by Al Stohlman is a very nice book to learn more about the engineering side of leathercrafting. The art of Sewing leather might come in handy as well alltough I haven't read that one myself.

Diddo on Hide Pounder's recommendations. I would only suggest that you read it 3-4 times a day for the next 4-6 weeks. You will be the Sheridan god!

Best wishes and speedy recovery.

I'd check to see if your library has a great book with the simple title of Saddles. It documents early saddles, how the styles have changed, some with beautiful elaborate carvings. Many wonderful black and white photos of the earlier saddles.
