Don't think I'm a weirdo just because I work in a museum library. Think I'm a weirdo because I dig up books like this: How to Make Whips, by Ron Edwards (ISBN 0-87033-513-8). I found it in this month's Cornell Maritime Press catalog (1-800-638-7641). Yes, for just$24.95, you too can enter the exciting world of whip manufacturing! Tease your friends! Annoy your neighbors! Whip some Nazi ass!
The book also tells you how to make bullwhips, snake whips and kangaroo-hide whips. If any of you have a hankerin' for some good, old fashioned leather crafting (remember when they used to teach leather craft in high school? Me neither. But my dad does...), then this could be the book for you. Order now! Be the first on your block to experience a dibilitating eye injury through your own negligance!
