Hi all,

Since the Porch's discussion occasionally meanders into smithing and 
farrier's work, I guess the is still on topic. I'm probably never going 
to be a blacksmith (that was my grandfather, who passed in the Winter of 
'36). I'm doubly never going to be a farrier. So I don't need this book:

_Artistic Horse-Shoeing: A Practical and Scientific Treatise_, Prof. 
Geo. E. Rich., M.T. Richardson Co, New York, 1890, 153 pages.

It's a good clean copy, especially given its age. It seems to be mostly 
how to remediate problems with judiciously designed horse shoes. Lots of 
illustrations and an index.

Email me off-list if you want it.

How all is well with everyone.
