I’m looking for books that are about craft and craftspeople, as in luthiers or bookbinders or masons or mapmakers or such. I enjoyed the Violin Maker by John Marchese and Stradivari’s Genius by Toby Faber, and have picked up Cræft by Alex Langlands. Any recs?

If you’ll take basic stuff, try the Earth’s Children series by Jean M Auel. The first book is mostly making practical stuff like baskets, but in book three they get really into beads and leather dyeing.
