The title is 'Metal working, Blacksmithing, & Soldering' it is by Oscar Almeida. It is such a cool book. The book has some very valuable information, as in diagrams of blast furnaces, forges, and basic shop setup. It covers the theory of blacksmithing in pretty good detail. The book also covers silversmithing, casting, heat treatment and tool making. And the best thing about it... lots of diagrams, drawings and pics for me to drool over.
There was one new blacksmithing book that I found at B&N that actually showed some of the basics of armouring, about 30 or so pages of it. It was good book, but after I learned what I could from it, I gave it up for silent auction at an event.
