John Leidreiter's book on knives, skinning and tanning

[Model70]

I have been trying for ages to get a copy of this book, it is still in print apparently but cant find it anywhere. They go on egay for around $50 but sell for around $25/$30.
Anyone know where to find a copy or have a contact for Leidreiters leather works?
I done a google search and found four different numbers for them and all where a different business!

I dont have that specific book but I do have a tanning guide based on old Leidreiters info (which is how I learnt to tan) that I can flick on............just depends which bit your most interested in - skiining knives or tanning?

By the way Im pretty sure that Leidreiters is out of business and Leder now do a version of their tanning kits etc...........

The book is no longer in print (according to the following link)

but if you follow the link and click their search button it does suggest a new copy is still available from the USA for $85 AUD - if you dont want to shell out that much, best bet would be keep an eye out on ebay........here is one currently on offer (bid at $36)

I saw the book 2 weeks ago in a 2nd hand book shop in Merimbula (5 min away ) . Price from memory was $40 + . Let me know if you want me to check it out or get it and post it to you.

Hahaha I can help with that too (can you tell Im into tanning?) I have access to an old tanning article that lists half a dozen different methods used (probably around the same age as this book) I make a photocopy for you if you want
