Welcome to the Fascinating World of Leather.
Whether you are a child or an adult, leather offers fun and rewards
to all who take the adventure. The history of leather speaks for itself,
dating back to the beginning of mankind when leather was vital for
survival, providing protection against the elements when animal skins
were used as clothing and footwear. Today, leather continues to
be used for clothing, mainly for warmth and fashion but it goes way
beyond those purposes. Leather has captured the hearts of so many,
young and old. This Buyers’ Guide offers everything you need to work
with leather, for fun or profit.
