If there's a leathercrafter's Bible - that's it ... and then there's Verlane's notes - priceless! Too bad someone can't put them into one cover. I reckon lots of folks miss that gal.

Billsotx,

Thanks for the book recommendation "verlane's notes". Being a leatherworker newbie, I hadn't heard of Verlane Desgrange yet.

I might like to buy a Leathercraft book that Verlane Desgrange produced alone, or co-authored, depending on what leathercraft subjects it covers. For instance, if it's mostly about saddle making, I am not interested in that.

Does the index of the book you have in mind cover a good range of leathercrafting subjects ? I like to custom - design and make small projects, such as sheaths, belts and other items in that size-category.

Having Google-searched several websites, i.e. AbeBooks, Amazon and Barnes & Noble, using " Verlane's notes " ,

" Verlane Desgrange " and several other search variations I created that included her name, all I could find was King of the Western Saddle: The Sheriden Saddle and the Art of Don King , by several co-authors, including Verlane Desgrange as illustrator , at Barnes & Noble.

I found a website page that gave some history on Verlane and based on her achievements, I assume she was involved with producing many books beyond the one cited ainvolvedbove. So I was surprised that the above book companies didn't have more of a selection.

What is the exact title of the book you had in mind ? Also, do you know who is selling it ?

(Reminder, I wouldn't be interested in a book that focuses mainly on Saddle making, since I don't plan on getting into any long-term projects.)

I appreciate your help !

Sorry for the vaqueness. To my knowledge the book doesn't exist. I was just thinking out loud. Right now the Stohlman book remains at the top.
