Great source of information!
I have read the book and it is very well written. Plain english, with perfect descriptive context. I've been working metal for over 45 years and found the information in Ms Sims book to be ineresting, engaging and, useful. She's a true artist and craftsman, as well as a great writer. I highly recommend this book to anyone who swings a hammer at steel!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
