———-

Rare volume particularly focused on handsewn work more than factory work. Of particular interest for its discussion on foot measurement and last making work, close detail account on unusual techniques such as French beading, the Veldtschoen construction, the Turnshoe construction and varying techniques of stitching.

A rare and valuable volume which would merit re-binding.
