I'm have just signed up for weekend course on a coppersmith with a local coppersmith who learned his trade in Britain.
When I asked him about any books I could read on the subject he said there was only really one book that he would recommended, The Art of Coppersmithing written almost 80 years ago. If anyone knows of any other good books on the subject I would appreciate knowing about them.

I haven't seen any books specifically purporting to be about coppersmithing, but the techniques are essentially the same as those used in silversmithing (or metalsmithing), so any good book on that subject would be applicable. For example, Heikki Seppa's "Form Emphasis for Metalsmiths" is good, and Tim McCreight's "The Complete Metalsmith" is handy to have.
