Until now, the publishing process has locked words and images to a fixed medium, making it impossible to quickly change or add to paper-and-ink bound reference books. Many of the illustrated clock price guides found in bookstores today are woefully out of date due to the time needed and high cost of revising, printing and distributing new editions.<br/>By combining CD-Rom text content with the Internet component of this guide, users gain the largest possible knowledge base. Thousands of high quality color photographs can be shown without regard to the high printing costs or physical space limitations imposed by traditional print methods, Keyword searching allows users to find relevant information quickly, and choices of display options offer flexibility that is unavailable with print.<br/><br/>From the Author<br/><br/>It has taken two years to create this one-of-a-kind resource on antique clocks. I did so because, many times during my 25 year career as an antiques appraiser, I have wished I had a price guide like this to help me in my work. I've found that good pricing information on antique clocks is generally hard to come by. The few other price guides that are in print are either woefully out of date or provide very little information about the condition of the clock or the source of the price. Most have very few color photos and a limited number of clocks. It is important for me not to make a mistake when determining the value of a clock! Having up to date information and full color photos of thousands of clocks in an easily searchable database, with every price source given, was something I needed in my own business. I felt other antique clock dealers, collectors and appraisers would want it too. Judging from our readers' response, I was right! I hope you will enjoy using the guide and profit from your decision to buy it. I always love to hear from my readers, so please let me know what you think! - Jeff Savage<br/><br/>From the Inside Flap<br/><br/>Click-Clock! Click-Clock!
