This is a vintage textbook on shoemaking originally designed for industrial, trade, and commercial schools in the early twentieth century.
From tanning hides to boot repair, this comprehensive volume contains a wealth of timeless information that will be of considerable utility to those with an interest in leather boot and shoe manufacturing.
A Manual of Shoemaking and Leather and Rubber Products is written in clear, simple language, making it ideal for modern readers looking for an introduction to the subject.
