Can someone recommend a good book that will show me a step-by-step guide to making flint tools, and the techniques needed? I'm thinking of taking it up as a hobby as there seems to be an abundance of flint where I live.

I have The Art of Flint Knapping by D. C. Waldorf and 20th Century Lithics by D. C. Waldorf - both of them are good. Can't remember where I got mine, might have been at BOSS before they closed their store for non students or alumni, but you can get them at the link that Jeff Wagner posted.Les Marshall said:Can someone recommend a good book that will show me a step-by-step guide to making flint tools, and the techniques needed?

He sells a small book that explains alot of the basics to flintknapping using Norfolk flint.This bloke really is the master,you should see the arrowheads he
makes,they are perfection.John also runs knapping courses,give his site a lookup.
One other book i found usefull is by John.C.Whittaker,called
"Flintknapping,Making & understanding stone tools"
I have an ebook that i'll uplod to my site later on as well,showing some good basic skills.
