I purchased it because I had exhausted all of my reading material and none of it would move me forward. I would go through my repair process flawlessly( how one knows this is a matter of experience and theory & trust, I guess) and I would have no idea on how to proceed. Extremely frustrating but getting help is called for if you've come to end of your ability. So---i bought this book and really had no faith in it. I had read some of the free samples. However, I jumped into the book at a particular area that I knew had to be a possible problem area. The escapement. What I found was a wealth of information that wowed me. I had intuitively been pondering many of the facts I encountered but had been unable to put it all together & it was a Eureka moment. All my learning materials (books, videos, YouTube, etc. Along with experience) had none of the theory ( not formulas, etc.- but getting to know your subject stuff, fun stuff but, theory) that I needed to move forward. This book was worth the price for even one page.. A gain, not the 1st book a beginner should read but, when you are ready it's informative and relevant and worth much more than a few bucks. For what it's worth. ### ⭐ Too complicated! *by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2017* I purchased this as a companion to the clock oil I needed. It is written for readers who are knowledgeable about clock repair, not for the average person who knows nothing about the terminology. I wanted a simple instruction with illustrations on how to oil my pendulum clock -- this book did not help. There were very few illustrations and none that even matched my grandfather clock (which isn't that old). If you are looking for a history of clock repair and tool descriptions and understand all the terminology, then this might be for you. I returned it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Good "Second-Level" Book *by N***D on Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2013* The author may live in Indiana but he uses the Queen's English. Obviously a Brit and a lover of the English language. Some may think his writing is slightly stilted, but to borrow a phrase from Winston Churchill, It is something up with one must simply be prepared to put.The first chapter must be read first before jumping to any other subject in the book. It details theory and troubleshooting. Unfortunately, most of it went over my head, but a second read-through was quite enlightening. Things began to make sense, especially since I then had a clockwork mechanism in my hands.The drawings were created by a professional machinist and can be somewhat confusing to the layman. Hopefully, anyone willing to take on clocks as a hobby will have some mechanical abilities.I was able to determine why my clock was striking a few hours incorrectly and make the correction. And, in the process, learned to do the oiling that needs to be done every two to three years. Without oil, clock parts begin to deform and/or wear away. Very important. Clock oil kits are available online for under $20.00. And yes, you can oil the mechanism on the kitchen table; use a soft mat.I used a few miniature and small screwdrivers and small, smoothed jawed needle-nose pliers that I bought from Sears. More advanced work, such as machining new parts, installing new bushings in pivot holes, or adding metal by silver soldering, will require training and expensive shop equipment.I would not consider this a book for rank beginners; more of a middle-level book that carries a wide variety of repair topics on many different types of clocks. It's probably great for the apprentice in the clock repair shop. Yes, the book did work for me. It was informative. I'm glad I bought it but I doubt that I'll use most of the information in it.
