YS, it is likely to cost you.

BIG.

I bought my copy immediately it was published, forget when that was, but a long time ago.

Over the last few years I have seen it for sale at anywhere from $US25 to $US1500.

There are other books on pattern welding too, one i've heard of is by somebody called "Schiffer" which is supposedly the Duck's Guts of pattern welding, but i've never seen it.

There are other books too, like Figiel "On Damascus Steel", & Sasche "Damascus Steel" these are very informative books and will help enormously in understanding how pamor patterns are created.

I suggest that a read through this thread might be useful, maybe very useful:-
