Excellent book on how to care for leather

Leather care, whether it be dress shoes, working gear, or just gloves, seems to be a lost art. Having had to teach a few young men how to care for their dress shoes or coats, what polishes to buy, etc. shows that, unless you come from a riding or ranching background, you probably don't know how to care for leather. This book addresses that for everything from working leather to dress to stuff used by certain fetishes out there. (Happily details remember on the safe side of TMI for that). However you use leather, this book discusses how to keep it looking good, waterproof and flexible. If you're going to spend money on real leather, be it dress shoes, custom boots, flight jackets, or purses, this book is a wise investment. With proper care, leather goods live nearly forever and this book will teach you how.

Great 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.
