Easy starting point

I'm fumbling my way through a few beginning projects and I was able to get suggestions for better ways for some things I had been trying to accomplish.

This is a great book for beginners getting into the craft. The authors assume a little bit of knowledge and forget to define a couple words specific to leather working but otherwise they cover a lot of the basics. Plenty of step-by-step close-up photos in very manageable bite-size pieces. I wish they would have covered more than the two projects in the book!
