Introductory Books for Metal Trading

Hey guys, I am trying to help a friend out who asked for some recommendations on introductory books for metals trading, specifically steel and aluminum. Most of my experience is banking oriented and I am unfamiliar with trading/commodities and thought someone here may have some good recommendations. I have already recommended some of the standard books anyone financial newbie should read to get acclimated with the industry so any specific niche books would be most helpful. Thanks in advance for the help.
