This review is from: Bows & Arrows of the Native Americans: A Step-by-Step Guide to Wooden Bows, Sinew-backed Bows, Composite Bows, Strings, Arrows & Quivers (Paperback)
I was disappointed with this book. Not because it's not what it claims to be, but because I had what appears to be the same book from an earlier printing with a different cover. The Bowyers Bible series is much more detailed, but Jim is a good writer and gives a good account of the subject. You can make good serviceable equipment following instructions in this book alone.
