Book(s) on metals trading

Greetings all.

I am currently looking for a comprehensive book on the physical aspect of metals trading (think operations), specifically non-ferrous metals. I've looked around for books on this topic but it seems that all the recommendations that have to do with physical markets revolve around the energy sector. If anyone has any input I'd greatly appreciate it.

 

Kind of a really old book; but look up The HIstory of Phillip Brothers (or something like that) by this guy called Helmut Waskis...

It'll give you a solid understanding of the history of metal trading, as well as an idea on how the concentrate trade works (far more complex and lucrative than refined metals trading imho)/
