Summary: Disappointing
Review: I ordered this book after my DBIL brought me back some lambskins from Ecuador. Having never worked with leather I had no clue where to start. Sandy's last article in Threads was so inspiring but I was disappointed in the book. The book will be helpful to me as far as the basics go, but samples shown in Threads magazine and online were much better - at least for my taste.

Summary: This Book Is Just OK
Review: In writing this book, the author took advantage of the fact that there aren't many leather sewing how-to books available.But despite the lack of good books on this subject, this book is just ok, not great. It's not a must-have book. I am a pretty big fan of Lark Books' craft books (the publisher of this book) but this Leather book is pretty slim. Some of the author's garment examples are bizarre and one-of-a-kind, which I didn't find inspiring. If you already have any experience at all sewing leather, you don't need this book. However, if you have never sewn leather and want a few basic pointers, basic pointers are within the scope of this book.

Summary: ALL LEATHER, NO S&M?
Review: Initially, I had hoped this book would have had more information regarding "other" uses for leather. This book certainly covers many areas of leather in great detail, but with particular regard to S&M, there was a dearth of information. Not to say that this alone should limit one's purchase of an otherwise well-written book, but this section is nonexistent and it makes one question the author's experience with leather.
