Leatherconnection.com Books Worth The Money?

Just because I sell the things I make doesn't mean I should be expected to pay more for his books than others.

Oh well it's a good thing I already have quite a library of reasonably priced books on leatherworking.

Hi DavidL

Forgive me if this one has all ready been mentioned but it is a great book and covers some of the ittems you are interested in. More importantly she covers the basics so you can design your own. I also second the Al Stohlman case making books.

I agree with DavidL, it is more of a 'professional' course. I have all 4 published manuals, and they go into great detail on all aspects of leatherwork. I liken it to a written appreticeship in pro-leatherwork. The author has very good credentials (did my homework!), and the manuals are layed out like a college course would be taught. If you're an aspiring professional, especially in the 'English' style, I would recommend these manuals. Having said that, you still have to put in the time to read and understand the manuals..and they are very, very thorough (some people would find it on the dry side). Hope this helps!

(Side note: I've contacted the author on the status of the remaining manuals to be written, and because of his health, they will not be published. The first four manuals are still avaliable, however.)
