Helpful, but maybe not for the outright beginner In many ways this is a first class book on leatherworking with some good creative projects. Not every project will appeal. but enough to make the book a worthwhile purchase. The language used in explanation is a bit complex and not always easy to understand, but the pictures are good and make it possible to work out construction methods without having to completely decipher the written words. Nevertheless, the language style is not easy, hence loss of a star.
Beautiful Book Such a beautiful book and very clearly written. I bought this for a mate really into craft and making and ended up buying another for myself even though it’s not my thing at all! My friend says it’s kept him really busy and I’ve found a whole new hobby. Evidently brilliant for beginners and experts alike.
Good appearance, a bit short of explanation Itâs a very well presented book. Good quality of paper and covers. The information is a bit short in explanation if you are un experienced as me, but you can complement it with youtube guides.
