Favorite Metalworking Books
We've had many requests for suggested books on metalworking and I've combined a list of my favorite books plus a list from other professional metalsmith members of the ArtMetal community. The books listed are linked to the Amazon.com web site where you can order them directly from the links below. In fact, if you are considering purchasing any of these books, I would like to ask that you follow the link of the book you are interested in purchasing and ArtMetal will receive a small commission for referring you to the amazon book store when you purchase the book. It's a way that you can help us keep the artmetal.com site available on the internet as a free service to the metalworking community. If you have a favorite metalworking book that is not listed, please leave me a comment and I will add it to this listing. And if you find a book listed that you think it should not be listed as a favorite book, please let me know by commenting below.
Enjoy the knowledge of metalsmithing! Mario,

Mario,
Thanks for turning us on to these books! I was able to add Maryon's METALWORK AND ENAMELLING book, and actually found the Theorie und Praxis des Goldschmieds

books
in the book section I could not find either Maryon's METALWORK AND ENAMELLING nor Brepohl's THEORIE UND PRAXIS DES GOLDSCHMIEDS (I know there's an english translation by Charles Lewton-Brain),
have a look at http://www.pennabilli.org/libri.htm
for a review of these (and other) books.
