About This Item
Nicasio: Hawk Hill Press, (2003). First edition. One of 100 numbered and signed copies in a special binding. Oblong quarto. 303, [1] pp. with numerous color illustrations. Publisher's blind ruled and lettered calf, pictorial endpapers. No slipcase was issued with this production. Slight sunning to edges but an excellent copy."Since the fine antique bits and spurs of a century ago are scarce and difficult to find as well as very expensive, there is a growing interest in pieces made by contemporary makers. This beautiful book introduces the reader to 123 skilled modern makers of bits and spurs. They come from all parts of the United States as well as Canada and Europe and are creating new designs appropriate for the 21st century. Also included are descriptions and images of myriad motifs and techniques used in building and embellishing these pieces over many centuries" (Martin).
