4.0 out of 5 stars The Clock Repairer's Handbook, 5 May 2004
Saw the price of clocks on E Bay and decided to buy one in need of restoration. This book is the better of 2 bought on Amazon. Straight forward clear and concise. My complicated new hobby has suddenly become easy and profitable.

4.0 out of 5 stars In the same vein as De Carle, 7 Dec 2000
By Carruthers Brian "Pen" (France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I must admit that I bought this book as I have many others, expecting to be sorely disappointed. Well I was wrong. Having been weaned on Donald De Carle I must present a challenge to any aspiring horological author. Imagine my surprise and delight to find an author with the same insight and obvious love of timepieces as De Carle! A craftsman who can explain the intricacies of non-standard repairs with the same clarity as simple replacements is a gem. His explanations are clear, concise, and understandable to any level. I can hardly wait to see what his future offerings have in store. Well done Laurie

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a beginner's book, 15 Feb 2009
Although the author has tried to write a book for people of all abilities, this is not a good book for the absolute beginner.

The author assumes a knowledge of clock functions and a familiarity with technical expressions that the beginner won't have. Although there are some sections dealing with very basic things, e.g. "How to oil a clock", Mr Penman is soon on about "verge flags" and "lantern pinions" or casually suggesting that we solder new teeth into damaged cogs or make our own replacement parts.

I needed a basic book to tell me how to clean, lubricate and adjust my mantle clock. Sadly, I soon got completely bogged down in this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars clock repair for novices
Brilliant treatment of a subject that is complex for novices like me. I loved the idea of 'dunking the clock' to clean it
