@fredk:jawdropper: What ??? Holy boot patcher Batman !!!!! Are you serious??

 

I only paid $10 for mine at a  local market. It 's also signed by the author  James Nottage  on the inside.  I wonder what thats worth now??

Edit: 

Holy Moly , you're right,  I just checked, I wonder if mine is considered ' collectable'?

@Northmount   I had a look, thats incredible .  $460 US  would equate to around $600- Australian . Perhaps I should tell the vendor how much the book that he sold for $10 is actually worth....now

.....mmmmnah !!!  :)  I would never sell it anyway . I'm just in awe of the beauty of the saddles Ed Bohlin  created. But they must be so heavy on the poor ol' horses back . 

I've had a few experiences like that in the past, sellers not actually knowing what items are really  worth.

I just took Get Started in Leather Crafting: Step-by-Step Techniques and Tips for Crafting Success back to the library.

I'm a beginner, and found it a little... basic.  Nice pictures, though.

If you have a Kindle (or the app on your phone/tablet) I would download the sample before buying.

@Northmount @fredk I saw that same vendor at my regular market at the weekend, I was soooo tempted to tell him  the value of the Ed Bohlin book that he sold me, but I weakened , I didn't have the heart to tell him. Not sure if I should . 

I do have a bit if a grudge against him though  , some years ago, he was next to us at a market,   our stall got damaged during some wild weather one year,  a table went over nearly injuring my Mother,  and a lot of my stock ended up on the ground, but he never lifted a finger to help* .   

* Its good etiquette ( and good karma)  to help each other at markets, especially newbies. 

I'm now looking at ways to best store the book, knowing its value, now.

Thank you. Perhaps I should have  phrased that a bit better  :) My workshop can get a bit messy and dusty, and a bit cluttered , despite my best efforts to keep it clean.

we store our collectable books in a gallon baggie with a desiccant pouch. 

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

I had to google that name :blush:  we call them ' clip seal bags' , but thats a great idea .   One other idea I had in mind was an archive box/file thingy, I might combine both ideas  :) . I know it sounds over the top, but this is my fave book and I don't want anything to happen to it. I've had some old leather  books damaged in the past, so you can understand my added caution . 

Thanks
