Do not buy! The book could be condensed to 10 pages or fewer. It only deals with leather furniture. It has nothing on the care of exotic leathers, shoes, coats, saddles, leather luggage, the care of horse hides, pig skin, cordovan shoes, etc. The text can be summed up in "Read the care instructions that come with the furniture and follow them." This is supplemented by a few words describing several types of leather.

This is a must have manual for the leather cleaning professional. Well worth the money!

I couldn't finish reading the book because it got boring and fell into stressing how IMPORTANT it is to leave a legacy. But in terms of addressing the *how* the book completely fell short to its promise. Or if author tried to do that, somehow the examples given didn't really get me excited or inspired enough to really set my own intentions around WHAT KIND of LEGACY/HERITAGE to leave.I happen to live in a non-American, non-suburban area - where everything is super fast-paced and very urban. The suggestions in the book felt a bit outdated and irrelevant to my current living style. I wish I'd thumbed through the book at a library and just photocopied relevant stories for myself if it were possible.

I didn't think this soap smelled anything like the "melon pear" it is named. It just smells like soap. I was disappointed as I love french milled soaps.Donna

Miniature bar with strong scent. It arrived with dirty wrapper and looking like it had been used.

Product was as advertised. Nice, delicate scent. Rather small and expensive, but not too bad, since it came with the super saver shipping.
