Overview
Are you the owner of an antique or collectable clock, or are you likely to become an owner in the foreseeable future? If so, the Good Owner's Clock Guide and Clock Logbook, consisting of two books packaged as one, gives guidance on all aspects of the safe operation, care and custodianship of domestic clocks and will provide an invaluable record. The Good Owner's Clock Guide gives the reader all the necessary information to enable him or her to make an accurate assessment of a clock's originality, condition and quality. Advice is given on restoration and repairers/restorers and there are useful tips on buying and selling clocks and initial pointers for research into the clock's maker and its overall history. As Eliot Isaacs says in his foreword, the average owner or collector, whilst appreciating a clock's artistic beauty and its value, 'often has insufficient knowledge to know when maintenance is required or to recognize when simple changes have been made, let alone be able to describe any repairs or other alterations in sufficient detail to be of help to future owners ... This book sets out to be of help to remedy this state of affairs, and is long overdue'. all aspects of a clock for all evenutalities. It will prove invaluable for the owner for a wide diversity of purposes ranging from verification of provenance to information for insurance purposes, and will also be of great benefit if the clock is sold. The Good Owner's Clock Guide and Clock Logbook is unique in its presentation and format and is destined to become the clock owner's bible.
