Members Handstitched Posted April 4, 2021 Members Report Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) @fredk What ??? Holy boot patcher Batman !!!!! Are you serious?? I only paid $10 for mine at a local market.

Northmount Posted April 4, 2021 Report Posted April 4, 2021 Try this link to ABEBooks https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?isbn=0295976055&cm_sp=mbc-_-ISBN-_-all A good range of prices. Quote
Members Handstitched Posted April 5, 2021 Members Report Posted April 5, 2021 @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.

Members verbin Posted April 12, 2021 Members Report Posted April 12, 2021 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. Quote
Members Handstitched Posted May 3, 2021 Members Report Posted May 3, 2021 @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. HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?

On a book shelf with lots of cousins and read occasionally. Thats what it was born for Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

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.

HS we store our collectable books in a gallon baggie with a desiccant pouch. Quote 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 won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!

I had to google that name 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 .
