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.
