Books on Norwegian paper mills

[gj16333]

I was wondering if anybody had a copy of the following two books and would be able to do a look-up for me:

The Paper Mills of Denmark and Norway and their watermarks, Henk Voorn 1959

Bentse Bruk: the first Paper Mill in Norway, Henk Voorn 1955

I have ancestors that worked in the Bentse Brug mill and the mill at Nestingen in Spyderberg.

Takk

Thank you for that link Tove, I had not seen that one before. I cannot read Norwegian but the electronic translator gives a reasonably readable translation. My only Norwegian ancestor, my Great grandfather, arrived in Australia in 1891 and there is no longer any knowledge of the language in my family.

The Ole Amundsen that you helped me with earlier today worked at Bentse Brug in the early 1800's after he left Brochmand's paper mill. He moved to the paper mill at Nestingen in Spydeberg 1810-1814. His last child Peter, my GGGrandfather, moved back from Nestingen to Aker in 1856 and worked at Bentse until he died in 1895. Most of Peter's children worked at the Bentse mill as well.
