Walsall books: History & Heritage
	Walsall Leather Industry: Saddlers to the World Walsall is probably the world's greatest centre of the saddlery trade. With origins in the Middle Ages, the town's leather industry had over a hundred firms exporting their products throughout the British Empire and beyond by the end of the nineteenth century. They also emerged as major supplier of military saddlery and harnesses. The twentieth century saw the rise of light leathergoods, such as handbags, cases and gloves. With the coming of the motor car these products became the mainstay of the Walsall leather industry. Today the town's manufacturers continue to supply high-quality goods to a global market. Four local firms are Royal Warrant Holders, and the town's saddlery trade is once again flourishing. Price: £9.09 Publication: August 2003

Walsall books: Art & Culture

The New Art Gallery Walsall A run-down post-industrial town in England's Black Country is the site of a fantastic building designed by the young architectural practice of Caruso St John. The New Art Gallery Walsall is perhaps the most successful of the many art-oriented projects funded by the Lottery Millennium Fund. The gallery is a massive terracotta- and steel-clad structure, enigmatic and subtle, within which is a complex series of galleries and rooms, part of which houses the remarkable Garman Ryan art collection. The collection was donated to the people of Walsall in 1974 by Lady Kathleen Garman, wife of Jacob Epstein - a personal and varied collection consisting of more then 350 works of art including 43 works by Epstein himself. This book documents in text, photographs and drawings a building which has already contributed greatly to the civic standing of the town. It includes documentation of the remarkable art projects that accompanied the building and tells the story of the struggle to fund a world-class work of architecture, all illuminated by Helene Binet's remarkable photography.
