SUMMARY- All interior photographs are black-and-white. You get a general history of English brass and a surprising variety of items cast in brass. The glossary of brasses and related copper alloys was particularly interesting - always good to know what to call something.
I love that they always give you a list of further reading and places you can visit to help satisfy your curiosity on the subject. If I were ever able to take a real vacation, I would do it with a handful of these books in hand!
