Even though it appears to cover a lot, this book didn't exactly have all of the answers. It mostly focuses on reworking old furs into newer styles. There are some useful tips on the basics of stitching, but nothing that can't be found elsewhere.

If you are looking for instructions on refashioning an old coat into a newer one- this is the book for you.
