The Art of the Western Saddle by William Reynolds (2005, Hardcover)

I think this book is amazing! It isn't just a book to sit down and read, it's a book that beckons to be not only read, but to be absorbed. The pictures are absolutely breathtaking, showing most items that are museum pieces or one of a kind pieces in collections. Many of the wonderful pieces in this book have several pictures, each picture highlighting the detail of the intricate work in leather and silver. This is a great chance to get close to some of the finest hand crafted leather work, silver, and rawhide as well as many various cowboy items. This is a perfect book for the collector or the person who really appreciates quality and workmanhip.
