An excerpt:
"Given suitable material, good taste, and
patience to acquire skill in the use of a few simple tools, many delightful and
individual things for personal use may be produced in leather...One of the most
satisfying qualities of leathercraft is the extreme durability of
the finished work, and because of this, the earnest worker will endeavor to produce
something which will be a lasting source of pleas rue during its years of
use."
