Members Glendon Posted April 18, 2013 Members Report Posted April 18, 2013 I would agree with Gary. I have both books, and have the same reaction. If you think of them in school terms, Valeries book is more Intro to Leather 101, and Geoffreys is more of an Intermediate Leather 201 book. It's easier to get the basic concepts down first. Quote
Members St8LineGunsmith Posted May 9, 2013 Members Report Posted May 9, 2013 I ((((ECHO)))) Al Stohlmans books The art of hand sewing leather, Leathercraft Tools and leatherwork Manual some other of my picks would be craft tool tech tips, how to carve leather and how to buckstitch Sthohlman Encyclopedia of saddle making Vol 1 and Vol 2 these books cover all the key components of educating your self about the technical and mechanical aspects of leatherwork Valerie Michael leatherworking handbook is a good book for more modern design ideas where as some of Als design books like the art of making leather cases would be somewhat out dated due to the the type of applications they were designed for however the methods of making hand made leather goods has changed very little over the last 150 years the rest is imagination.
