    Has anybody bought _The Complete Metalsmith: Professional Edition_
    by Tim McCreight? The ISBN number is  1-929565-05-4 and the list
    price is $30. 

    Normally I would always choose the newest printing, but this edition
    represents a change from the original publisher to Brynmorgen Press.
    Publishing houses have different processes and standards, and the
    only book I own from Brynmorgen is a little hard to read. 

    The pages looks more like photocopies than actual printing--very
    *good* photocopies--in that there is not enough black-and-white
    contrast. But this won't be a problem for most readers; it's just
    that my eyes aren't what they used to be, so reading this text is a
    little tiring. For me. 

    I'd like some opinions on this new printing, both on readability and
    content. Is the "Professional Edition" too complex to be useful to
    hobbyists? 

Janet
