Do you know if that book is available here in the states? Or is it a publication from specifically the UK?

Not sure if I'll be strictly doing lettering or incorporating it into pieces as part of some sort of extra detail. But I'll make sure and read up on the burin and get one while I'm still new.
Thanks for all the great advice and encouragment everyone, I'll be grabbing some tools for my birthday in about a month. So I'll read until then.
