Whipmaking--the highest refinement of the art of leather
braiding--is the main emphasis of this book. While the original
text focused on the design and construction of whips made in the
Western tradition, this revised edition adds two completely new
sections. First, it introduces another major category of
whips--those made in the Mongol tradition. Braiding details are
shown in an extensive selection of photographs that also serve to
document the geographic distribution of the whips; their historic
use and characteristics and explained in detailed captions. Second,
a new chapter describes the evolution of a whip design that became
world-famous through its association with Hollywood. The whips used
by Indiana Jones were all made by the author, David W. Morgan. The
first movie prompted an immediate revival of interest in whips for
performance and sport use, and the enthusiasm has grown with each
new film.
