Members gunter Posted December 15, 2011 Members Report Posted December 15, 2011 howdy fellow crafters, I would like a copy of gene nolands, black powder book and leather secrets by fo baird as also ken griffins leather scrap book. Also looking for ideas with leather, from way back in the 70's 80's. I've been travelling ebay and oher sites, but for some reason these books are scares and/or expensive or there's a sniper bidder, lol. Is there someone outhere that has these books on PDF?or can tell me where to find them in pdf. I assume this question is reasonable, though maybe not legal :-S. cheers, Gunter Quote Once I moved about like the wind, but now I surrender.(Geronimo) Failure is always an option

Northmount Posted December 27, 2011 Report Posted December 27, 2011 Try http://www.abebooks.com (a network of used book stores.) They have a lot of old books available. Some very good prices, some high. Depends on the individual seller. Quote

There are some Internet and some local Leather groups that have created their own libraries of Books, DVDs, Doodle Sheets, etc. for loan to their members. Might I suggest the http://iilg.org group as a group to look into. I am sure there might be local groups in Europe that also have some resources. Hope this helps.
