POCKET WATCH TITLES

PLEASE LOOK IN THE EUROPEAN LANGUAGE CATALOGUE SECTIONS The individual subject catalogues generally do not include titles with predominantly non English text. So please remember to look in those sections of catalogue as there are many useful books, which can be made sense of by those only speaking English. If in doubt about any particular title please ask for more information.

PLEASE LOOK IN THE REGIONAL CATALOGUE SECTIONS The individual subject catalogues generally do not include titles with listings of makers names, or the work of a specific maker. These are generally only listed under the Regional catalogue section, which also groups titles related to certain regions; e.g. USA, Germany/Austria. So please remember to look in the Regional sections for the information you seek. If in doubt about any particular title please ask for more information.

PLEASE LOOK IN THE PRACTICAL CATALOGUE SECTIONS The individual subject catalogues generally do not include titles with a mix of manufacturers catalogues of available models, parts and service guides. These are listed under the Practical catalogue section. So please remember to look in the Practical section also as such items include a wealth of historical information to assist identification. If in doubt about any particular title please ask for more information.

PAGE PRINT SET UP The best printer set up for the following catalogue pages to print well is 1cm left and 1cm right margins. Hope this helps ! Nigel .
