- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So good, I booked a course with the mighty Peter Parkinson himself. Wasn't disappointed.There's a great shortage of _good_ smithing books. Peter's was the first I saw that addressed this. The techniques are in here, but more of that, so's the design and the inspiration that smithing can be beautiful and that the renaissance of British art smithing was part of that.
