Description

This vintage book contains some concise but useful facts about leather, boots, and shoes. Although old, much of the information contained within this volume is timeless and will be of considerable utility to modern readers. From the manufacturing of leather to things to consider when buying leather boots, this volume contains information that will benefit those with an interest in leather footwear. Contents include: "Hide Dealers", "Leather Manufacturers", "Character of Leather", "Shoddy", "Effect of Oil on Leather", "Description of Cuts", "Cost of Making goods", "A 'Good Fit' Desirable", "What Boots to Buy", "We Sell to Jobbers Only", and "One Hundred Dollars Reward". 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. First published in 1872.
