This review is from: Music Boxes: The Collector's Guide to Selecting, Restoring, and Enjoying New and Vintage Music Boxes (Hardcover)
This book is not what I expected.The content is not very informative and it lacks any real knowledge of collecting music boxes.

One star is over-rated, December 24, 2002
This review is from: Music Boxes: The Collector's Guide to Selecting, Restoring, and Enjoying New and Vintage Music Boxes (Hardcover)
I collect antique music boxes and have several books on the subject. I would say that around 90% of this book is devoted to modern toys and there is mere lip service to the exquisite machines from which they were derived.
I also found it personally insulting that he claims to include restoration. If I tried to restore a music box after his instructions I would end up with a pile of parts and their condition would be irreperable--more damage than help.
