Recommend a god book on catches and clasps

[china]

Hi
Can some recommend a quality book on constructing catches and clasps

[NickD]

I was going to suggest Tim Mc Creight's "Boxes and Lockets" but the prices now are ridiculous

That's the one I have. I know the exchange rates aren't so good now but it's often much much cheaper to get Art books from Amazon.com even with the postage they could be less than half price. I'm not getting so many bargains now though

Thanks I will have a look, I usually buy books from a company called booktopia, there prices seem to be very reasonable

I checked Amazon they list it at $4,627.04, I found out that my local jewellery tool supplier has one $39.95

Which one are you going to go for?#-o

I've just looked at both Amazon listings and those prices are bonkers!! I only paid $27 for it 3 years ago at the time it was probably only about £17. The world has gone mad.

I know it's not as nice as having a paper copy but there seems to be a kindle edition for £6.54
