Members Jim M Posted June 15, 2007 Members Report Posted June 15, 2007 If you have high-speed internet, or are really patient like me (okay, I'm not really patient, but I am on dial-up), this site has some neat old books in PDF format. I found a couple of leatherworking books and a military one on pack transport and one on harnesses which has plans for a stitching horse. Lots and lots of books on other interesting subjects, too. http://www.archive.org/details/texts Quote
Members candyleather Posted June 15, 2007 Members Report Posted June 15, 2007 Very good link for old books, thanks! Did you searched only by leather, leathercraft, leather craft? Quote
Members Jim M Posted June 15, 2007 Author Members Report Posted June 15, 2007 (edited) Very good link for old books, thanks! Did you searched only by leather, leathercraft, leather craft? I searched several ways, Candy. It has been a while, but I know I used the words you listed as well as leatherwork. I also used saddlery and harness. Just did a quick search again and I know I found and downloaded the following books: Your Leatherwork - Betty Dougherty LEATHERCRAFT FOR AMATEYRS - ELEONORE E. BANG The Hobbycraft Series Leather Craft - William H. Johnson Pack transportation - United States. Quartermaster's Dept CIS Index to U. S. Executive Branch Documents, 1789-1909, Part 2 Harness repairing - Roehl, Louis Michael, 1881- Also downloaded many metalworking and history books. Again, lots of good stuff to be found there. EDIT: Had forgotten about another good site, which has an online book about making an English saddle - http://www.countryside.gov.uk/LAR/archive/...kingasaddle.asp Edited June 15, 2007 by Jim M Quote
