Whips and Whipmaking

This book is a great collection of different whips of the world, how they differ from each other and how they are used. It is a good buy for that reason alone. It has a section that roughly describes some common whip construction techniques, but that part is not very detailed. There are other better books for that.

Now in its second edition, revised with additional information concerning whips made in the Mongol tradition and the evolution of whip design in general, Whips And Whipmaking is a straightforward, easy-to-follow guide and to the art of leather braiding to create whips for performance or sport use. Black-and-white photographs and an extensive discussion of the lore, history, and quirks of whips through the centuries make Whips And Whipmaking a one-of-a-kind, information packed resource.
