Used & Rare Craft & Handwork Books
Our crafts category gathers used, rare, and out-of-print books on traditional handwork and making, from bookbinding and blacksmithing to needlework and model building. Aldren A. Watson is well represented with Hand Bookbinding: A Manual of Instruction and The Village Blacksmith, alongside Angela Thompson's Textiles of South-East Asia.
You will also find specialist and ephemeral pieces such as Winthrop Pratt's A Notebook for Ship Model Builders, Corticelli Lessons in Tatting, and vintage instruction leaflets from the Singer Sewing Machine Co. Some titles carry period diagrams and fold-out plates. Many are scarce craft pamphlets and manuals, so condition and availability vary across our used and rare stock.
