Last week I posted about finding out-of-print leathercrafting books. Not all publications about this trade are gone. There are many books in print and even a few periodicals where you can find useful information and possible project ideas. This week, I want to turn your attention to some of those magazines that still exist today.
Leather Crafters & Saddlers Journal
ShopTalk
Leathermag
Leather Luxury
Footwear Journal

I have V1-11 of the Leather Crafters & Saddlery Magazines that I would like to sell. Not sure if this can be posted on your site? Thanks.

Hi Agnes! Ebay (or a similar site) might be a great place for that. Best of luck to you!

There is a relatively new magazine in the United Kingdom called “Waxing the Thread”. Unfortunately, there is no U.S. distributor, so copies must be ordered from:
Waxing the Thread (GDH Leatherwork Ltd)
Chapel House
Penffordd
Penffordd, Clunderwen, Pembrokeshire SA66 7HX
United Kingdom
The first issue looked promising. Apparently they publish two issues a year and they’ve just published issue number 8.

Thanks for the heads-up! I appreciate you letting us know, Philip.
