Tandy does have the advantage of being more convenient for many people. However,
if you are willing to shop for your leather by mail there are a number of other
sources.

For some reviews and lists of these other sources take a look at this file in
the CRAFTS section of my Stefan's Florilegium:

merch-leather-msg (18K) 10/10/96    Leather merchants and sources.

There are a few other files that you leatherworkers out there might also
find useful:

leather-msg       (72K)  4/ 3/96    Working with leather. tanning.
leather-dyeing-msg(37K)  7/ 7/98    Dyeing and painting leather.
lea-bladders-msg  (15K)  8/ 3/98    Tanning, cleaning, dressing animal
bladders. 
lea-tanning-msg   (30K)  4/24/98    How to tan leather. Types of tanning.
lea-tooling-msg   (47K)  1/ 6/98    Leather tooling. decorating leather.

And this one in the INFO-SOURCES area:

leather-bib       (18K) 11/ 1/94    Bibliography on leather and leather goods.
