5.0 out of 5 stars Clock Primer is a Must Have
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this book here...they are way over priced!
I can't believe the price the two sellers are trying to get for this book; $50 and $99. Outrageous. Do yourself a favor and go to [...]. It's exactly the same book at a cost to you of only $16. 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...

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent primer for any clock enthusiast!, February 7, 1999
By A Customer
Balcomb does an outstanding job of breaking things down into simple terms. Being a novice, my confidence has been significantly bolstered with his easy to read step by step approach. This is THE book to have when undertaking antique clock repairs!

5.0 out of 5 stars The clock repair first reader, August 24, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Book was like new if not new as advertised. Delivery was prompt. Would have been nice if the book had been packaged in bubble wrap as postal service was quite rough on it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hard to follow, June 22, 2006
By 
This review is from: The Clock Repair Primer: The Beginners Handbook (Paperback)
This book could be difficult for a beginner. The diagrams are sometimes hard to follow. So, I wouldn't buy this one as your first book on clock repair.
