I found this book to be very interesting. It is well illustrated and explaines how the Copper Industry flourished during the late eighteen hundreds into the early nineteen hundreds. It does not show the artistic details of coppersmithing but instead focuses on making boilers, piping, etc. for shipping, factories and breweries.
This book is not for everyone, but does have information that the well informed Coppersmith should know.
