ofafeather Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Hi, all. Just thought I would mention for those that live in the Mid-Hudson valley region of NY that the Mid-Hudson Valley library system (covers about 6 counties) has some good books on blacksmithing. If you have a library card you can request them for inter-library loan on the internet and have them sent to your local library. I just requested Albert Sonn's Early American Wrought Iron and Donald Streeter's Professional Smithing. If you haven't already, check out your library system!

archiphile Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 You will want to own that book. I got a copy given to me by my mother this year for my birthday. Stayed up all night reading it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofafeather Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 Yeah, money's a little tight for that book right now. Even used copies are up there. I was amazed to see it at the library. Maybe down the road I'll get it but at least I have access to it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I live in a small town in New Mexico and through inter library loan I can access books that can't be bought! (at least 4 years of continuous book searches on amazon and abebooks hasn't turned up a copy!) It amazes me that a free library card can get me rare and expensive books with no hassle at all. Thanks Ben Franklin and Andrew Carnegie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofafeather Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 Yeah, the library has been a real blessing to us. It's amazing the resources you can access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
