Love John's channel, and I'm really happy to hear there's a new book on the market! At $250 for the set, it's a bit out of my budget for the year, but I do believe it would be well worth the investment. Samuel Yellin's work stands as the Gold Standard here in the US. While there were other gentlemen doing similar, Sam's name became synonymous with blacksmithing... and I think even his competitors wouldn't mind. Books like this are what I call "idea books". You might not be able to forge iron to nearly that level, but the pictures are worth a thousand words, and there's no reason why you can't borrow an idea for a project you'd be able to make. If you have the money, I highly recommend supporting the authors and adding this set to your personal library. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DDh75fqntU
