NICE AND EASY!
I am very interested in clock and watch making for many years. This book is easy to read and undestand, it gives you the basic knowledge in order to make your clock! I am about to finish my first pendulum clock! Good luck with your reading!

Why is Amazon so expensive again?
As I have written before, amazon is no bargain.

I want this book. I can buy this book new for a total of $18.50 which includes shipping and handling and I'll receive it in a week.

You guys want $22.50 for the book plus $1.99 for who knows what plus something for shipping and handling. Then you won't be able to tell me for weeks whether or not you can even get the book. Ridiculous!!!

Give me 1 reason why I should do business with you?
