Anvils in America

Anvils in America is THE book that created the 21st century global anvil collectors market!

Anvils in America is THE only book including an in-depth history of anvils made and imported into North America. Anvils in America is THE only book including anvil serial numbers of various North American manufacturers.   There is no other book like it.

This book is huge! (11¼ x 8½ x 1½ inches and almost 5 pounds!). When I first ordered this book I thought it was a little pricey but after getting my hands on it I realized that it was worth as much as any of the $200 engineering references I have bought from ASM! - anvilfire guru

Misconceptions about AIA:
