This antique text contains a comprehensive guide to the chemistry behind commercial leather manufacture. Including all the information needed for chemical leather production, this text will greatly appeal to those with an interest in the subject and makes for a worthy addition to collections of related literature. Many antique books such as this are increasingly costly and hard to come by. This text has been elected for modern republication due to its significant educational value, and we are proud to republish it now complete with a new introduction on leather.
