[TheForge] Interesting books from Lee Valley

[Graham Whaley]

Andy,
	I think I've got a 'new' Lillico.  Believe I got it from

http://www.bababooks.com/booklist.PHP

 Also downloadable as a PDF from the Countryside Agency.  Note - there are
other books of interest on the Countryside Agency website as well.  The URLs
were posted on various newsgroups/lists at the end of last year.

 Try
http://www.countryside.gov.uk/Publications/articles/Publication_tcm2-7490.as
p

 I have the PDFs on CD/PC, but I do like to have a real paper book to sit on
the sofa (couch) and read of an evening :-)

	Graham

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?
