German book on leatherwork

[TomE]

@Mulesaw I recently discovered the book "Saddlery and Harness-Making" by Paul Hasluck.  It is a reprint of 2 volumes originally published in 1904 and available in hardback and paperback editions from used book sellers.  The book has considerable detail about tools, materials, and instructions for making saddles, various pieces of bridlework, and harness.  There are many illustrations. The book doesn't fill all the gaps in my understanding of the subject, but I am learning a great deal about the why and how of saddlery.  It's a fun read.

Hi Tom

Thanks for the heads up on the book, I'll try to see if I can locate a copy of it somewhere.  learning something new (old) is always fascinating.
