I had checked out this book early on and forgot about it until just recently when Sharon, the author, emailed me. Get the book, if you can since she does a great job of explaining a lot of the basics of shoemaking. Most of the shoes are very simple, but it's a wonderful way to get your feet wet.
And, Sharon's website is here. There's a lot of great stuff there as well.
