5.0 out of 5 stars A great book on more than just boots
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2003
This is a great addition to anyone who collects books on native art, history or life in the arctic. The photos are outstanding and the details behind the history of boot making of natives will be of interest to anyone from anthropologists to human geographers.
