Today and other moments I spend time to collect titles of books about silver.

Knowing there is a special department on this forum, I wonder if it is OK. I send next time a list of titles with books about silver from Holland and Belgium.I'm doing my best to translate the information into English, so It can take perhaps a week or so and I wonder if it is a possibility for to send many information in one topic?

What I try is to send of course the title, aurthor, publisher, short information about the books and perhaps it is possible for you to copy the list of information to the right department of the silver books. (library).

Knowing that some members collect a lot of books about silver and perhaps there is interest for some books of the list.

In some topics there was a question about for instance silver books from Holland (the Netherlands/Nederland)so I hope it will help.

I am too busy right now (maybe in a few weeks) to guide you. I am hoping one of the volunteers from the Silver Library Project will step up to guide you. Eventually I will make the time to add it to the Library Project.

Thanks for your suggestions.
