Review: good - good
Review: Bizarrely written, repetitive and inaccurate - I’m not sure what to make of this book. Feels like it was written by an 11 year old for a school project. Read a couple of chapters on the kindle and then skipped to the end to leave this comment. Because I’m reviewing in the app I can’t copy paste quotes, but any book that calls the Balance Wheel a balancing wheel and fails to label it (or the pallet fork) in the diagram above is woefully inadequate. It calls the mainspring a battery twice. The final FAQ is something like “can a human body run down a battery?” And has some bizarre explanation Very glad I have Kindle Unlimited and didn’t have to pay for this.

### ⭐⭐ Not satisfactory as a teaching aid.
*by C***S on 1 March 2025*

While the book certainly contained useful information, I'm glad I only paid Kindle prices, as I would have been more disappointed with hard copy prices. The book lacks a thorough teaching structure, for example when a process for repair is described, it steps over procedures and activities that require skill and descriptions that have not been previously explained. This may not be an area that is particularly easy to cover in print, but I think there is considerable scope for improvement.
