All hail the industrious woodworking youngsters of the 19th century This enchanting and practical guide, originally published in 1874, offers these adept lads what its author calls, in the book's subtitle, "Practical Directions for Making Numerous Articles for Use and Ornament, Mechanical Toys, Models, &c; With Descriptions of Various Tools, and the Method of Using Them." Learn how to build a small summer-house; model bridges, tables, bookshelves, gates, desks, dog kennels, and chests, along with specific woodworking skills like veneering and lengthening timber. The book aims to enlighten and entertain even as it strives to instill virtue and industry in its young readers. It's a very handsome volume, with nearly 200 illustrations, a pleasing typeface and a charming authorial tone. The projects are a pretty varied lot, ranging from the simple to the very ambitious. While there is some basic instruction on how to do things, the author expects some familiarity with tools. It is however a great font of ideas and a starting point for lots of projects that you might not ordinarily attempt. We found the book a lot of fun. Incidentally the cover, which is a faithful restoration of the original is one of the cooler woodworking book covers ever. As a bonus, the detailed booklist from Cassell, Petter & Galpin, the original publishers, provides a fascinating window into the era's recommended books for wholesome and hardworking families.

Travel Friendly Bag
Color: Coffee-lichee
Genuine leather, deep pockets, beautiful rich brown color, zippers are jewelry grade (slide like butter), lots or organization, magsnap closure, outer pocket or cell phones, inside lining is soft material, shoulder carry. I returned because it was heavier than I thought, and not cross-body available

Great looking pebble leather bag!
Color: Coffee-lichee
I have purchased powder blue, maroon, and three brown bags. I love the brown color bag. I have given two away and purchased this third bag for myself to keep (hopefully). The pebble leather seems to be genuine. This is a reasonable price for a large leather bag. It has large capacity, two inside zippers, one outside zipper, another install compartment. Great for organizing. I use this bag as my everyday go to bag. I love it!

High quality, genuine, leather handbag.

Very nice handbag. Soft real leather. Length of shoulder straps is perfect. Lined with a silky fabric. Zippers work smoothly. Good leather smell. Made really well. This handbag is worth buying. Excellent addition to your wardrobe.

Well-made & roomy!
Color: Green
This a beautiful, well-made bag! It shipped quickly, and was packed very carefully within its own dust bag. I really love the dark green color & like the dark gradations on the corners. The zipper fabric is a dark brown, but it blends very nicely.
There's lots of space, enough for a book!, and the handles/strap feel sturdy.
I added a cute frog charm for some sparkle, but the bag is pretty on its own too!
