Introductory Note

This Bibliography has been compiled from the catalogue of the specialist library collection at Walsall Leather Museum.

The collection is available for reference use on most weekdays, by prior appointment (tel. 01922 721153).

We are unable to lend books from the collection, but most of the titles listed here should be available from public libraries in the U.K., through the inter-library loans system.

Items marked with an asterisk are those which we have found to be particularly useful as good introductions to the subject.
