Description
Summary:Judging from the extensive bibliography in this book, little to no literature exists on fish leather tanning in English. A quick Google and Amazon search reveals that a good general book on leather tanning includes at least one chapter on fish, reptile and other "alternative" skins. There are also video tutorials on YouTube, but until now there were not any books specifically on fish leather tanning written in English.
