Did a bit more checking later, and gave them a call.  Their publications
section is at:  141 Castle Street
                          Salisbury
                          Wiltshire
                          SP1 3TP

phone number is 01722 336255, again add your own codes for the UK,
no fax.

They still have the book "The Blacksmiths Craft" available, at a price
of GBP (ie English pounds) 14.95,  plus postage.  They said they could
send a copy to the US for GBP 18.00 total (ie the book plus postage).
Unfortunately they do not accept credit card payments, and so orders
would have to include a cheque  in sterling for the amount, made payable
to The Rural Development.
