This book contains a vintage article on the subject of leather working, being a collection of entertaining and commonly unknown facts related to leather, skinning, and tanning. With interesting historical information and a wealth of handy tips, "Something About Leather" will be of considerable utility to modern readers with a practical interest in the subject, and it would make for a useful addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "As to the Tanning of Leather", "As to Alligators", "As to a Curiosity in Leather", "As to the History of Leather", "As to the Making of Leather Things", and "As to the Things Which are Made". Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on leather crafting.
