Well written book.
This book was a well written book providing a basis and insight into smelting gold and silver. The book is very informative and I enjoyed it. I would recommend this book to any one who is interested in persuing this as a trade or hobby. This book opens the world of smelting, unlike the other review, I found this book worth the read through. This book was very helpful and unlike other reviewer; I dont expect some one to do my job for me. Research is necessary when leanring and developing any trade or skill. A definate book to add to your collection!

LOUSY
AMATEURISH, A BOOK THAT MUST HAVE BEEN MEANT FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN, FULL OF CAMPY CLIPART AND REPETITIVE WARNINGS.
REMOVE THOSE AS WELL AS THE OVERSIZED TYPE FACE AND YOU HAVE AN EIGHT PAGE PAMPHLET!
THE BOOK REALLY HAS LITTLE VALUE TO A PROFESSIONAL, SERIOUS STUDENT OF METALLURGY, OR A PROSPECTOR SEEKING INFORMATION ON SMELTING OR REFINING HIS METALS.
THIS IS A BOOK FULL OF WORDS BUT EMPTY OF KNOWLEDGE.

A little overrated
Mr. Chapman has touched on the concept of smelting, but has not come close to supplying the information that would be needed if one was attempt to do what he proposes in his book. He seems to demonstrate a basic concept of smelting, but I suggest that readers do a little more research beyond Mr. Chapmans expertize before you start any smelting processes.
