Interesting book.  Not bad, but not the best either.  The line drawings lack 
some of the detail I'd hope for...you could have better resources by buying 
Antique Iron by the Schiffer's (I think) and the incomparable Colonial 
Wrought Iron by Don Plummer.

Not sure who carries "Hooks, Rings...", or where Jamestown got their copy...I 
think it was Centaur, though.  Astragal Press is also a good source for books.

<< Thanks.  I looked and they don't have the book I'm looking for.  I'm 
 looking for the book "Hooks, Rings and Other Things, An Illustrated Index 
 of New England Iron" by Frank T. Barnes, 1988.  I've got a query into Norm 
 Larson to see if he has it, and the only place online that I've been able 
 to find it is Amazon.com.
