A survey of British clocks seen from the viewpoint of the potential buyer - whether experienced collectors or novices buying their first clock. Seen principally from a commercial viewpoint, the book discusses those factors which influence price - quality, genuineness and how to recognise it, where to buy, investment, restoration, and assembly. This book attempts to answer all those questions which should be in the mind of the first-time buyer. Points out potential pitfalls and offers serious advice about buying your first (or subsequent) clocks. You need to read this book before you buy your first clock.
