When I was searching this forum about the quality of the John Lobb book, most people recommended this book instead - apparently it's a great read

It's a good book. The measurement pictures are from my bespoke maker, Balint, not Vass.

^^ What do you find lacking about it?
I'm not really looking to know every detail about how to craft shoes, just some insights.
But I'm hoping to get some educated advice on shoe maintenance and learn a little about the various shoe types, their history and intended uses.
Would you say it delivers on those subjects?
