Product description: This book gives complete instructions on the handling, working, and finishing of all metals. It begins with basic information and the characteristic qualities of each of the metals met by the craftsman, both precious and base. It then describes the various techniques in working metals, as well as methods of metal fabrication such as smithing, annealing, forging, and casting. The methods of metal finishing, as well as explanations of various hand tools and their uses are also included.

We purchased it new in 1968 from Allcraft Tool & Supply Co. Their tiny stamp appears at bottom of last page on end papers. Page edges have shelf darkened with time but the book is in very good condition otherwise. The dust jacket is worn with edge tears. This was, and still is, the Art Metalworker's Bible.
