I love this book. I collect old clocks and have purchased many books on clock repair, but I could not use them because they were written for clock experts. After reading this book I think I can do some basic clock maintenance and repair. This book is a must for anyone who has a clock. The format is very easy to follow.

Now you understand why I'm amazed at how some people try to take advantage of others. I do buy quite a few books here at Amazon.com and have considered most to be a good deal. [...]
