This really is a cracking good book, and I’m not even into blacksmithing - if I was I would buy this book! As its title implies this is about modern blacksmithing and making interesting shapes and designs, of which it shows plenty of examples. But it also has a heck of a lot more, on equipment, materials, safety and the various techniques required to produce all sorts of types of work. 160 pages crammed with colour photographs and (B & W) diagrams and drawings. Larger format hardback. The Crowood Press
