This work serves as a comprehensive guide on the tanning process, detailing both the practical and theoretical aspects involved in converting raw hides into leather. The book is intended for practitioners in the field of tanning as well as chemists looking to improve manufacturing processes.  The opening of the text outlines the purpose and structure of the book, emphasizing its dual aim of providing a scientific background for practical tanners and a practical guide for chemists. Procter mentions the importance of understanding the structure and chemical composition of hides, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of various tanning methods. He highlights the significance of the initial chapters, which delve into the anatomical structure of the hide and the materials used in tanning, providing a foundation for the upcoming practical processes to be discussed. The author also notes the collaborative nature of the text, acknowledging contributions from colleagues in the tanning industry.
