Shoemaking, by June Swann. 32 Pages. Softbound. Shoemaking is an interesting subject of which most people are blissfully ignorant - though they will often complain about the shoes they wear. This book takes you back to the days when everyone knew the local cobbler who would make quality shoes and repair them for a few pence. It is all about that bygone trade and outlines its development from the Roman era to today's modern times where shoemakers are few and far between. The numerous vintage photographs and illustrations throughout lend a nostalgic air to the book and add depth to the fascinating story. This book will both educate and captivate and will be well worth your time. UNAVAILABLE (BK-0962)
