Good explanations supported by colour pictures. Better labelling of the pictures would help as would a more extensive glossary, as a term may be used in the text which one can recognise as having been used before but cannot remember what it refers to or cannot trace back to the original mention. Also sometimes a diagram may be useful and also show on the diagrams the direction of motion. Finally, a clearer description step by step of reassembly and setting to work would be useful, including sequence, important alignments and pre-start checks, etc. Otherwise very helpful and clarifying. I now feel I understand how carriage clock strike mechanisms work (except for the strike stopping mechanism which I had to ask someone about since it is not really clarified in the book). Best book I've read so far!Read full review

Its great to have a book written recently which covers the basics of clock repair and incorporates modern techniques that don't cost a fortune. Well thought out covering 3 levels of equipment which encourages the beginner to expand and deal with more complicated repairs. A modern day Donald de Carle with up to date photos and illustrations.
