more books on the craft, plus a couple of castings from FEGA. ROGER, maybe we tend to get the same type books because we happen to live in the same area, and we come from the same time frame...

Richard, are these Bergling books available? After looking at this thread I did a search and the only J M Bergling I found was "Alphabets" 64pp. at $125.
The Metropolitan Art Museum sometimes sells off what isn't moving. I got "Heroic Armor of the Italian Rennaissance" a beautifully published book for very little, but I don't remember off hand. The metal work is astonishing. I also got "Wm Morris by Himself", mostly a book of designs, from the 'Met". I've paid as little as $1 for a HB book.
I found "Corner & Border Designs 1900" in a used book store. It was publ in The Netherlands, a great idea book for engravers .

Went to an ARTS AND CRAFT festival over the weekend, and of course, they hed a few good books that pertain to muzzleloaders and scrimshaw work. I was extremely happy to find The Muzzleloading Caplock Rifle by Ned Roberts on 10/19/09.

One of our members here, Mark Thomas, has an embellishment section in , Following The Tradtions, copyright 2007, by Gordon Barlow,another must-have for the muzzleloaders amoung us..
This is the newest title: American Engravers by Roger Bleile

This is one of my favorites, Pugin's Gothic Ornament. You can find the dover reprint for around $11 or $12, but the 1838 original is one of my prized possessions. The quality of the paper and engravings is so much nicer on the old one...

The images apply more to what I do in stone, since the shading and draftsmanship conveys so much information, but it will also be well worth the price for the rest of you.

Wow, quite an assortment of reference material to track down.

Here is a very useful link that may help in the quest to see where the nearest library copy is located.

Hi All
As a new member to this forum, I have found this thread to be fantastic.
Be great if it was a sticky but understand posts like this would soon over load that section
What is the best way to save on your computer so that you can regulary access I have tried bookmarking & saving to favorites with other forums but lose it as it moves around on the forum, Maybe I am doing it wrong
any advice would be great Thanks
Cheers Graham

If I were beginning a library, I would use "Engraving Historic Firearms" by John Schippers, and Bob Meeks book,"The Art of Engraving", as the basic foundation and build from there...Mr. Schippers is easy to understand as a teacher..His sharpening tools is a big plus for new beginners, no confussion,just down-to-earth talk....

Not computer savvy and cannot post this listing for this thread unless I wrote something on it. Many ,many thanks to Roger Bleile for taking the time to post his numerious collection of engraving books on this thread. It sure made it more interesting !!
