Customer Reviews

the ONLY real reference for cuckoo clocks

I wouldn't touch any other one. These clocks vary a great deal. If it's not in this book, it's going to take a lot of research. It's really a good book.

Excellent Book for Collectors

This is an excellent book for collectors and people wanting information on the history of the cuckoo clock. The writing is clear and precise and the diagrams are easy to follow.

A good basic overview of the German Cuckoo Clocks.

Offers the industry's history (including machinery), many tips about the adjustment and restoration of these clocks, tools needed, etc. Photos of unusual clocks and the factories. A "must have" for those interested in, or repairing, the German Cuckoo Clocks.
