How about Germany? Julius Hoffmann Velag publishes a number of books
stuffed with excellent photos of architectural ironwork as well a books
on other architectural metalwork and craftwork in other media (e.g.
ceramics, wood, aluminum), furniture and other architectural subjects.

I have:

Schmiedearbeiten von heute (has photos of my work - plug plug. 8-)
Dekorative Tueren
Garten- und Einfahrtstore Gittertueren
Teuren und Tore aus Stahl und Aluminium
(Lots of photos, with blueprint details, of commercial
gate and door construction.)

All are beautiful books.

Prices run from ca. 40 marks to ca. 80 marks. Most have text in
German, altho some are multilingual.
