This vintage book contains a comprehensive treatise on the scientific and chemical processes involved in making leather. Although old, much of the information contained within this volume is timeless and will be of utility to the modern reader with a serious interest in leather work and manufacture. Contents include: "Study of Microscopic Changes in Hides during their Conversion into Leather", "Review of Literature", "Experimental Work on Technique of Imbedding and Cutting Tissue", "Study of Changes in Structure during tanning", "Study of Changes in Volume and Weight of Calfskins during the Liming Process", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction.
