January 23, 2014Great book for a newbie bootblack
I have wanted to learn how to bootblack for years. My Owner finally suggested I give it a go. After a solid month of polishing boots, a lapse in bootblacking and eventually circling back around to it I picked up this book on a whim.
Y'all I tore through it in 24 hours. The book goes into great detail on the chemical composition of dyes, creme, polishes and warnings. The list of supplies covers basics, intermediate and advanced toolkits. The photos of step by step processes for leather care, different types of gear and historical examples are fabulous. I have so many notes and highlights in my Kindle version that it looks like a college textbook before finals week. Get this book. Seriously.
