[Jon]

Perfect book for someone getting into Mechanicsville repair

[Jon LaCour · Rating 4 out of 5]

very nicely done technical book that I can actually follow!

[Alli · Rating 3 out of 5]

For my purposes of familiarizing myself with clockwork terminology and tools, this was very useful. The illustrations are particularly helpful. If I were actually planning to disassemble a clock and clean it, though, I think I'd want to read another book or check out YouTube videos--some of the instructions were a little difficult to follow without seeing the movements in action.
