Free delivery on qualified orders. Review: Great resource for beginners. - Prior to reading this book my knowledge of leathercraft was just was I did as a Boy Scout - so basically non-existent. After reading this book I feel I'd be able to complete tasks with a better understanding of the processes used to create quality looking leather projects. This book really is composed of three parts: 1) Tools - it gives a paragraph or two explanation of many of the tool you may need while dabbling in this hobby/art. 2) Method - This section takes you somewhat step by step through the various ways to turn a piece of leather into a functional work of art. It includes guides on staining, dying, stitching, lacing, and most importantly tooling (adding design using stamps and custom patterns) 3) Execution - This section puts part 1 & 2 into practice. It gives a step by step tutorial on building a card case, and a belt. The author did a great job on this section giving a brief overview of the step without fully repeating repeating the method, although referencing the page to visit if you need additional help. Overall this book is highly recommended by me. It's approximately 200 pages, but with the great illustrations and step by step guides you can easily finish this in an evening and truly get a nice beginners level knowledge on this craft. If you were like me, wanting to see all that was involved with this craft before buying the tools, you can't go wrong picking up this book first. For reference - I purchased the kindle version and read this on my iPad Mini. In the past I've had issues with reference books with lots of illustration not being formatted well enough to make the book usable as an ebook. This book was formatted exceptionally well and I have 0 regrets about buying the eBook vs the spiral or paperback. Review: Very handy for beginner - Lots of pictures and walks you through step by step. Very useful.

OK, lots of color pics but very basic
I purchased this book plus The Leatherworking Handbook by Michael. I prefer Basic Leatherworking as all the pics are in color and show a lot of detail which is essential for a beginner like me. However, this book appears to be more basic whereas the Leatherworking Handbook seems to have more depth and detail. Neither is perfect. I will probably pick up the Al Stohlman books too.

Mislabeled. Carving rather than crafting
Very informative book. Easy to understand text, and pictures to guide in almost every step. However it won't talk much about "crafting". Rather, it's all about carving. Nothing significant on types of leathers, handling, coloring, care, etc...
