About this title

Review:

'...an essential reference for anyone working with metals...especially useful for jewellers. It covers an enormous variety of subjects ranging from metals and tools to casting and stone setting; it's so comprehensive that I really can't think that much has been left out!' --Craftsman Magazine, July 2010
