PRACTICAL TITLES
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 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 DO NOT BE SHY ! ! If you notice any errors in our cross cataloging or misclassification of our titles please do not be shy about telling us. We will be pleased to hear from you as well as rewarding you with a free horological gift with any order you are placing at the same time !
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
