MikeRock Report post Posted August 16, 2019 Is the 1976 edition that much better than the 1951 edition?? God bless Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buzzardbait Report post Posted August 16, 2019 51 was the first printing, it was reprinted in 74. The revised edition was printed in 76. I have a 76 revision the title page says each of the pages and patterns were reprinted exactly as they were in the 51 edition. The copyright for my 76 revised edition says new material was added by the publisher THE LEATHERCRAFTSMAN, INC. It does not specify what that new material is. So I didn't actually answer your question but there is some updated info in the 76 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeRock Report post Posted August 17, 2019 Thanks Buzzard, There is a copy on flea bay for about half of what the 76 edition goes for, without the leather cover. God bless Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
howie696 Report post Posted August 17, 2019 I have both copies, and the 1951 copy is definitely clearer, its like the 76 has been photo copied too many times, its usable but the 51 is nice imho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
