Hi Judy,

    I'm quite interested in this subject also. A book I found extremely
    useful was: 

    Silversmithing (Jewelry Crafts)
    by William C. Seitz and Rupert Finegold
    http://www.ganoksin.com/jewelry-books/us/product/0801972329.htm

    I think it tells you how to shape hammers properly. And it's easily
    obtain able from amazon, if you can't find it anywhere else. The
    hammers I've bought so far, I got from HS Walsh in the UK, which are
    quite nice, in that they come pretty much ready to use, but they do
    have quite a limited selection. I think for jewelry, you often have
    to modify your own. 

Happy hammering!
