Looking for a good book about forging and steel

[Dewey Smith]

Can anyone suggest a few good reads about bladesmithing and forging? To combat the problem of my extensive ignorance, I figure that reading and talking to you folks would be a good start.

The Complete Bladesmith is a very good book IMHO.
Its available from several places, but www.paladinpress.com is the publisher.

Ed Fowler's Knife Talk, and Wayne Goddard's 50$ knife shop are also good ones to read.

The Complete Modern Blacksmith by Alexander G. Weygers is an excellent resource.
