Book Overview
Whipmaking is the highest refinement of the art of leather braiding. This revised edition introduces another major category of whips--those made in the Mongol tradition. Braiding details are shown in an extensive selection of photographs that also serve to document the geographic distribution of the whips; their historic use and characteristics are explained in detailed captions. A new chapter describes the evolution of a whip design that became world famous through its association with Hollywood. The whips used by Indiana Jones were all made by the author, David W. Morgan, and the films prompted an immediate revival of interest in whips for performance and sport use.

Excellent wide view of the subject

This book is a great collection of different whips of the world, how they differ from each other and how they are used. It is a good buy for that reason alone. It has a section that roughly describes some common whip construction techniques, but that part is not very detailed. There are other better books for that.
A one-of-a-kind, information packed resource
