[TheForge] Book Recommendations

[J Keller]

As I'm still fairly new to blacksmithing, I've been ordering in books 
from the library and reading through them.  Parts of them are a bit too 
advanced for me, but I think I'm getting a basic idea of how different 
things work.

These are the books I've read so far:

The Art of Blacksmithing Revised Edition (1995) - Alex W. Bealer
The Blacksmith's Craft (2005) - Charles McRaven
American Blacksmithing (1982) - Holstrom and Holford
The Complete Modern Blacksmith (1997) - Alexander G Weygers

Does anyone have any comments on any of these?  Are they good or bad 
references?  (I'm ignoring the parts that recommend using molten lead 
and asbestos for various things).

Also, are there books that I should be looking for that are better for 
beginners and/or better overall?

Thanks,
Justin
