You can get Adrian Harris' book; " Knife Repair & Restoration" for under $10 from Knife World books.
SMKW charges $8.95, as I recall, but you pay several dollars more for shipping I think.
Personally I would prefer to get it from Knife World, they are great folks & charge much less shipping last time I checked.

The new edition of Harris' book has some updated info in it like; etching blades & making knives, topics not addressed by Kelly as I recall.
Thanks orvet. When I get home tonight, I will be looking those up.

Orvet, I just ordered that Adrian Harris book. Thank you.

I was wondering if maybe you guys could make a sticky page for printed reference material. TBH, it took me a while to search for this thread with these book titles.
