By A Customer
This review is from: Making Marvelous Music Boxes (Paperback)
This book is a very good teacher for making music boxes, whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or expert. It talks about the peices used for music boxes and has easy step-by-step instructions. The book has photographs and drawings for each music box, and also alternate ideas for each box. I recommend this book even if you don't want to make one because of the interesting facts and pictures.
