Usually experiencing something first hand is always the best way to learn something wither be a new technique, new philosophy, or a different way of getting someone off!  However, there are times when reading about them is a good way of introducing someone to these things so that the newbie has some starting points to start out with.

Leather is no different, and actually kind of better then the experience it self.  What i want to introduce are some great beginning books for those just starting in leather and their leather journey.

There are three books that i recommend, and i recommend them for both Dom/sub Top/bottom even though they may be indicative to the bottom/sub.

The first book i recommend is The New Bottoming Book by Janet Hardy and Dossie Easton (ISBN-1890159352)  Here is the 1^st book in which even the Dom/Top would need to read even though it is geared for the other.  In this book, it teaches what being a bottom means and it also teaches someone new in fetish or Leather techniques and red flags in obtaining people to play with.  They emphasis recommendations of ones abilities as well as red flags to watch out for.   As a Dom or Top it teaches you to obtain references but also understand the fears that a someone new would have, and ways to address them.

The next one i would recommend is Carried Away: AN S/M Romance by David Stein.  (ISBN-1881943178)This one is more geared for those wanting to live a Leather Life and D/s.  It is in this book, it reflects what living in a real D/s relationship is like rather then the fantasy of porn.  This was the first book that was recommended to me after a scene that did not go well....but in hindsight, it actually was a good thing. 

The last one i recommend is Becoming a Slave by Jack Rinella (ISBN-0940267209).  This boo is great because it describes each D/s relationship is unique and not a ‘cookie cutter’ relationship.  It also goes into detail what being in a Master/slave relationship is like and the general tenants it gives as well as its rewards.   A Sir/boy or even Daddy/boy could read this as well and fit it into their lives. 

These are a lot of books on BDSM, Kink, Leather, and D/s out there, but i believe these are the main three that everyone should read to understand themselves and their roles.  i hope you get a chance to enjoy and learn from them!
