Summary: This is a great book!
Review: I've been searching for a book that would give me a basic understanding of clock making without all the complicated instructions found in most. This one is highly illustrated and a great book to look at even if you don't make anything. The designs are unique and I'm glad I bought it. Isabow

Summary: Quartz clock ideas
Review: Silly me, I thought this book might be a how to on building clock works. Instead I got a very nice book with beautiful pictures of common refuse with a hole poked in it and a battery operated quartz clock movement bolted in. If you lack creativity, this book is a good source of ideas but, if your looking for a more horologically centered book, you can pass on this one.

Summary: Take the Time
Review: This is an absolutely fabulous book. I love clocks and wanted to make some. I had one idea that I had been working with, but this book has FORTY. Instructions are clear, materials lists are clear, photography is gorgeous and inspirational. All the clocks look really different (definitely not just variations on a theme). Some projects require an actual clock while some need only a movement. There are clocks for every taste, from folksy to funky. They work with everything from found objects to cardboard to polymer clay. There are galleries of photos for added inspiration as well as histories, factoids and amusing lists. I will definitely be doing many of these projects.
