Hi All,

    I came across some interesting information about free online books,
    thousands of them, almost none on jewellery, but a couple of related
    ones. I am sure there are more if you dig. 

    Here is Cellini's autobiography (the man was really kind of an
    immoral creep, but he was a pretty good goldsmith and entrepreneur).

    Here are downloadable versions of the same book.
