Watchmaking by George Daniels

Received in the mail yesterday my copy of George Daniels' classic book, "Watchmaking". I ordered it from Amazon, under their "Used Book" category, for $59.98, shipping included. Listing indicated it was a new book, never read. After opening the package it came in, it was shrink wrapped, with very minor damage to the top right and bottom left corners as you can see above, and one small little finger smudge at the edge of the pages. Other than that, which I consider inconsequential, it IS in new condition, and is the revised 2011, 2013 printing of the book. It made me quite happy to receive this, as I have desired to get this book for at least 3-4 years now. It is a birthday present from my wife to me, I shall be 62 on the last day of this month. 

Next on my list are some books by Steffen Pahlow, "Tourbillion, My Passion", and "Casemaking", and one of Henry Fried's book, "The Watch Repairer's Manual". Thanks for stopping by!
