[TheForge] books

[Bruce Freeman]

Terry,

I have to turn the question around back at you:  What it the purpose
of the books in the shop?

I agree with David about Machinery's Handbook.  I use it all the time.
 I should probably get a second copy for the shop.  I use it, though,
mostly for machining- and hardware-related matters, not for
blacksmithing.

Some of the books Mike has listed are inspirational, but I wouldn't
keep them in the shop.  Others are practical, but of limited coverage.
 So without knowing what the books are for I can't really recommend
anything.

The total lack of evidence is the surest sign that the conspiracy is working.
