Pretty good resource. This book has lots of good information and has a variety of tanning processes including history, tooling and recipes. It also includes quite a bit of information about the Inuit which I found quite interesting. Would buy again!
An essential addition to a home tanner's library. Lotta covers veg tanning, oil tanning, alum tanning and even some historic forms I had never heard of. She explains the chemistry of each process and provides some procedures for the methods she has worked and information she has mined from other practitioners.
I bought the book because there is not much available on veg tanning. My hope was that this book would fill some gaps and help me understand my options to get started. Well the book fulfilled my expectations. This was a great purchase and I am excited to get started on some new home tanning options.
Excellent Book. Concise enough for a beginner to pic up and have their questions answered.
Enough technical information to be a go to reference manual for a journeyman, experimenting with skins/methods where there may not be a step by step guide on youtube.
