[TheForge] Interesting books from Lee Valley

[Bruce Freeman]

Seems to me that Lindsay reprints Schwarzkopf, but I haven't seen a
reprint of Lilico.

Both good books.

Speaking of books, while in Portland I stopped into Powell's and picked

up two old blacksmithing volumes, "Plain and Ornamental Forging" by 
Schwarzkopf (1916) and "Blacksmith's Manual Illustrated" by Lillico 
(1960 fourth edition).  Hey, for $10 I couldn't pass them up.  Both are

full of very good industrial smithing techniques.  Anyone know if they

are in reprints?
