Our verdict on this title : 9/10

This is a superb book and recently out of print. Published at £45, prices are rising very quickly and there is very little chance of it being reprinted. If the market for thirty hour clocks recovers as it deserves to, this will be a very expensive (£200+) book. Super quality printing & binding and very authoritative text.
