This is a vintage guide to leather working by Australian writer Paul N. Hasluck. It contains easy-to-follow instructions for making a variety of leather items including bags, cases, and even footballs. "e;Leather Working"e; will appeal to DIY enthusiasts and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of related literature. Paul Nooncree Hasluck (1854 - 1916) was an Australian writer and editor. He was a master of technical writing and father of the 'do-it-yourself' book, producing many works on subjects including engineering, handicrafts, woodwork, and more. Other notable works by this author include: "e;Treatise on the Tools Employed in the Art of Turning"e; (1881), "e;The Wrath-Jobber's Handy Book"e; (1887), and "e;Screw-Threads and Methods of Producing Them"e; (1887).
