Looking for a book

Recommended Posts

I was introduced to leather work at a young age by my Mother who did tooling and Grandfather who was a shoemaker and did saddle & harness work.

I have some old tools here that I tinker with when I have free time.

We (my son and I) recently received the following items from my mother’s estate.

  • Spanish silver inlay spurs (one rosette missing) 1 spur strap missing
  • Leather Secrets by F.O. Baird, Hardback copyright 1951, 71, 76, 82. ISBN 0-9182801-X. Condition is overall good. Some of the pages show’s wear at page crease.
  • Tandy Craftool No. 42 Belts Galore by Al Stohlman, (no copyright listed).
  • Tandy Batwing and shotgun chap patters. Copyright by Tandy leather craft.
  • Leather cuffs – all things considered pretty good shape.

Does anyone know where I might obtain a second copy of the Leather Secrets book at a reasonable price? I dont really want to take a chance on something happening to the one I have.

Thanks

That Leather Secrets book, when you can find it, runs between $150-$200. Do an Internet search for it, but good luck. Tandy has a book called Leather Art by F.O. Baird, which is a good thing but not the same as the one you have.

I have one that I bought from a forum member a while back at a reasonable price. But anywhere else you look, it will be about 200 bucks!

Good luck in finding one. Hope you can find it at a decent price too.
