A 668 page manual on every technique conceivably needed in your rubber garment making. 250,000 words of insight and instruction accompanied with over a 1000 illustrations, tables and photos.
The first half of the book is principally concerned with working with rubber while the second half goes into how one can make made to measure patterns for every part of the body.
The compendium started out as a beginners guide but I didn't know when to stop. When I was a beginner I simply wanted to know everything so I have attempted to empty my brain of everything it knows so all may enjoy. The manual is still very much applicable to anyone who has never worked with rubber before or anyone who has had years of practice.
Now updated with hyperlinked content pages.

Sample Pages within the Compendium
The Compendium of Rubber Garment Making is a 668 page book I have been writing for a number of years. It is broken down into two essential parts. The first part covers all the rubber sheeting handling techniques I can dredge from my brain, all one needs to know in order to work with rubber. The second part covers all the areas of the body for creating garments so all the instructions to draw up patterns from loose fitting trousers to skintight catsuits.
There are additional sections that are about taking care of your garments as well as yourself as the wearer, what rubber and latex are, the history of the material and where it comes from, an exploration into the word fetish, how to use Photoshop as a means for drafting patterns, how to take measurements, reduce measurements down for skintight garments, and even a pattern for an actual hood.
