[TheForge] CoSIRA, RDC, Countryside Agency Blacksmithing Books

[theforge@mailman.qth.net]

Sorry if the below information has already been posted to "theforge." It turns 
out that the Countryside Agency has made several of the popular 
blacksmithing books from England available for free download. The URL for 
the books available is listed below: 
www.countryside.gov.uk/NewEnterprise/Economies/craftpublications.asp 
The books available for download are: Blacksmith's Craft, The Blacksmith 
Manual Illustrated, Wrought Ironwork, Catalogue of Drawings for Wrought 
Ironwork (also the catalogues for Gates, and Weathervanes), Decorative 
Ironwork, and Metals for Engineering Craftsmen. Plus a few other titles such 
as Wheel Making, and Thatching. 
You'll need Adobe Reader to make the downloads. The smaller books like the 
Blacksmith's Craft can be configured to print two pages per sheet. 
While these are all great books and very popular, I've always thought they 
were fairly pricey--but now for FREE! 
I'd appreciate it if someone could post this to "anvilfire.com", I didn't see how 
to do it.  Thanks.
