Title: Not What It Says
Review: I purchased this book after reading the one review--boy was that a mistake. This book is beyond useless if you want to make shoes or boots. 99% of this book is nothing but verbiage, and the few drawings in the book are of the most general kind. It would be much more accurate to say that this is more a book about the history of shoe and bootmaking rather than a hands on instructional. So, if you want to learn the history of shoemaking from one person's perspective, than this book is for you. But if you want any information at all about making shoes and even making a last, this book is a total waste.
