Cowboy boots are way better than bad sex!, Jan 7 2007
By Kirsten B. Burt - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cowboy Boots (Paperback)
This book is so fun! My passion for cowboy boots started several years ago, but it hasn't been till recently that I started paying for the best. This book is better than bad sex for sure! The craftsmanship that goes into some of those books is amazing. Every page is like a new piece of tantalizing candy. I love it so much that I show it off at my restaurant in Seattle for all to enjoy!

Top of the stack., Jan 1 2007
By Jennifer June "Cowboy Boots: The Art & Sole" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cowboy Boots (Paperback)
Cowboy Boots picks up where Tyler & Jim's "Art of the Boot" leaves off. This book has more than 51 known makers, and nearly 400 pairs of cowboy boots... all photographed in crisp detail by Jim Arndt. Wow.Here are just a couple of the very speical pairs:
Page 143. "The Mexican" is a remarkable pair of boots made by the El Paso company called Tres Outlaws. Your eye is naturally drawn to the 22 rare Mexcian coins inlayed across the pair...but what is more astounding is to discover that the tooling pattern on this "matching pair" each completely different on the right and left boot. The difference is difficult to detect because the design is so well balanced. An amazing tribute to the rich history and culture of Mexico.
Page 25. "Ray Jones Boots 1960-1970s with Eagle Inlay." Ray Jones was famous for the "plain" stitched boots he made for working cowboys. These boots show us another side of this maker's skill.
This book's small size lends itself to endless page flipping. After 3 years, I'm still inspired by the boots I find inside.
