Default Need book recommendation

Can anyone recommend a good book,starting at raw beginner level, on leather carving and tooling?
I'm sure there are a lot of Youtube vids, but vision problem makes books a better choice for me.
Thanks

Al Stohlman wrote several books on leather crafting including How to Carve Leather. Patterns are included. Amazon lists it and it should be easy to find elsewhere in the internet.

Mr. Stohlman is also responsible for some of the finest leather working tools ever made. I have two of his leather hole punches that I've had for over thirty years, and they're still going strong.

Ordered 3 of Stohlman's books via Ebay. Maybe the mail will get them here before November.
