Shoe making book

[demeis]

Awhile ago someone posted a link to Amazon for a shoe making book. I couldn't find the post and was wondering if someone could post the link again.

I don't suppose anyone is interested in this volume in French....My parents gave me the French version for Christmas, not knowing that I have the English lanaguage edition already.

jerrysfriend has a book on the history of fine shoemaking that is a very interesting read, pm him and i am quite sure he will refer the title, it looks back on all of the grea shoemakers like lobb, eg, and the history of the styling etc., i found it quite well written abd a fun flash into the past

Wow, I would love to get a copy of that book. Do you know the title and/or author?

 

[nightowl6261a]

I will ask him tonight at dinner and try to post the title or ask him to.

Any word from Ken on the title or author of this book?

 

[nightowl6261a]

We talked about it last night, and we forgot to write the name down. I will email him this morning and ask him and pass it on as soon as I hear back.

New copies of the Vass book can be had from Daedalus for $7. I've ordered from them before and they're reliable.

Links provided by Mr. Pollock for an unbelievable book about the history of some of the better shoes from around the world. http://www.amazon.com/exec....1311305 http://66.170.193.77/cgi-bin....10;st=0 Very good reads for the history buffs looking for more information.

These are links to Roetzel's book.  Is this what you had in mind when you mentioned a shoe book earlier?

 

[nightowl6261a]

It may be, I only know the book from the cover, Ken brought it in for me to read and I found it fascinating, especially the look back through the ages of the inseption of the shoes from the victorian ages etc.

 

[Manton]

No, that' doesn't sound like Roetzel's book, which is what you linked. Must be something else.

Ken, care to weigh in here? If there is a shoemaking book such as nightowl6261a has described, I would love to know the title and/or author so that I can search the used book websites for it. (I assume that whatever it is, it is out of print.)
