I've heard that the Tim McCreight metalsmith book series 
are great for learning techniques for building object 
mounts. Is anyone familiar enough with this series to 
recommend one of these?

Metals Technic: A Collection of Techniques for 
Metalsmiths
Jewelry Making: Techniques for Metal
Jewelry: Fundamentals of Metalsmithing
Complete Metalsmith: Professional Edition
or
The Complete Metalsmith: An Illustrated Handbook
