A good book to complement others you pick up on the subject. I think it’s always the right thing to have at least three on anything you are researching.

Technically flawed and materially insufficient
At a scant 38 pages, this book barely even qualifies as an “overview”, much less a definitive guide. It might serve as a decent table of contents, guiding you to further reading.
However, the author is also technically inept. Many descriptions of equipment and processes refer to “circumference” when they clearly mean either diameter or radius. If you carefully follow the (mostly incomplete) instructions in this book, just about everything you make will be useless and/or dangerous.

Good book on all the basic terminology, set up and, techniques.
Over all a good quick read and made it all real easy to understand. I would recommend that pictures or diagrams where added to help cover complete some of the talking points.

Good beginner guide
This was a good beginner's guide. It was well-written, organized well, and very easy to follow. Overall, a good primer.

Basic information.
This book contains a fair amount of very basic information. Don't should be very helpful.
I would recommend it.

Brief
Very brief and basically a general overview only. No real information on beginning blacksmithing. Only good if you don't know what blacksmithing is.

Blacksmithing
This book was easy to read an understanding.
It could use some graphics to show how to put the forge together.

Very basic and only for the beginner
It would've been nice to see some pictures or illustrations included in the book to make it easier to follow.
