Artistic Leather Work – A Handbook on the Art of Decorating Leather 

This book contains a classic handbook on the art of decorating leather, with information on tools and equipment, materials, techniques, common problems, and many other related aspects. Profusely illustrated and full of handy tips and invaluable hints, this volume will appeal to anyone occupied in leatherwork, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "Leather Crafting", "Preface", "Introductory Notes", "Tools and Materials", "Different Methods of Decorating Leather", "Colouring and Staining", "Gilding", "Padding for Embossed Work", "Making Up", etc. Many vintage books like this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality addition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on leatherworking.
