This book covers all of the areas that are usually left out in "How to" books. The author covers flint knapping from Paleo to Mississippian Eras. There is more information in this book than the three best books that I have studied combined. I am actually learning to flint knap and know what I am doing and why. Excellent for a beginner and plenty of information for the seasoned knapper.
