ENDORSEMENTS OF TRAN DUY LY'S CLOCK BOOKS |
|
| "...
Your Kroeber Clocks book is ABSOLUTELY SPLENDID,
especially the ‘IMPORTED SECTION’ your details on French,
German and Swiss clocks such as: Alabaster, Chime clocks,
Hanging & Mantel Cuckoo & Trumpeters, French clocks
& Bronzes, Glass shades, Gilt & Alabaster, Mantel
clocks Gilt & Others, Marble and Bronze, Mechanical
American, Mechanical Imported, Onyx, Sidepieces &
Statuettes, Sidepieces & Statuesttes Vases, Swiss Vienna
& Hanging Regulators etc. That section alone worth the
price of the book. This is another top notch production of a
long list of your books. Thank you so much for sharing your
talent with the world..." Susan Lethcoe - Abingdon, VA "... We both love the Kroeber Clocks book and spent last
night looking at all the pictures and reading parts of the
book. It is an excellent book..." "...It has long been known what an invaluable asset the
series of books by Tran Duy Ly have been to clock collectors
the world over. In more than forty years of repairing and
collecting clocks, I have found no other references to be so
helpful with identification and evaluation of such a wide
variety of these artistic and functional collectibles. In
the volume Kroeber Clocks - American & Imported, the
master has surpassed himself. Especially the section on
imported clocks provides a rare asset that is perhaps not in
common with Tran’s other works, however, in that it shows a
variety of the many French and German clocks, sidepieces and
statuettes which Kroeber imported over the years in
successfully building and expanding his business, and which
cannot be found in any other reference work. Alabaster,
marble and gilt clocks from France, bronze sculped pieces,
Black Forest cuckoo clocks, Vienna regulators, trumpeters
and elegant chime clocks can all be found here, along with
details on measurements, year of production and features.
The fact that Kroeber was the sole American agent for the
Resch Brothers’ Vienna Regulators verifies the significance
of this book as an incomparable resource for information on
the multitude of these clocks which were marketed here at
that time, and are so highly prized by clock collectors yet
today. The preservation of this wealth of information is, in
itself, to be highly praised. To have it available in such
an attractive and accessible format with such high regard
for accuracy and detail is a blessing for which all those of
us in the world of horology will be forever grateful, and
indebted." "...I love all of Tran's
books. They are an incredible resource for the
repairman and the collector. We reference them often." "...I am a big fan of your
books. I only started collecting clocks about five
years ago but have amassed quite a few. I have your
books on all of the American made clocks except for
Welch. Can you tell me if one is available and where
can I purchase it? This make my collection
complete! Thank you for all your knowledge and
guidance. I have learned so much from you and
reference your books regularly." "...As a clock collector for
many years I've acquired a very large Horological Library to
assist me in my pursuit. I've found Tran Duy Ly's
identification and price guides to be the most valuable
resources in my library. My favorite Tran Duy Ly books
are the Kroeber Clocks followed by the Ansonia
Clocks and Watches. I'm waiting in great
anticipation for the new expanded Welch Clocks.
Thank you for all the terrific resource guides. "...Your meticulous dedication
and depth of knowledge, to the field of Horology, is
exemplified in your latest book, 'Kroeber Clocks - American
& Imported'. Clock collectors around the world are
fortunate... and I expect very greatful... that you have
published another outstanding and fascinating horological
masterpiece..." "... Your
Seth Thomas Volumes were considered your finest work...Well,
Tran, you have just superseded that publishing
achievement...with your "Kroeber Clocks" book. The
amount of information in this book is astonishing!
Just when you believe you've seen it all, you publish the
most comprehensive book ever for the Kroeber clock
enthusiaist...Congratulations..." "... I deal
with Ship's Bell and Ship's clocks daily and your Ship's
Bell section is fantastic. The only problem I see is
that if collectors have your book I won't be able to get a
bargain when buying..." "... The
Movement section is incredible, how did you add so much
information? When I look at it, I can't say anything
but Thank You. You show a lot of guts when you
reported on page 961 that Seth Thomas errored in their 1915
Catalog when they list the model applications for the 89-AD
clock movement..." "... I like
your Watch Section. In George Townsend's 'almost
Everything You Want To Know about American Watches and
Didn't Know Who To Ask', only three Seth
Thomas watch movements are listed, but your Watch section
has 41 different models'. My hat is off to you..." "... With his
new publication of Seth Thomas Clocks & Movements - 3rd
Edition, Volume 1 & 2, Tran Duy Ly places himself in the
ranks of recognized genius. The sum total of all his
many works on clocks has filled a void that no previous
author or authority has been able to touch. What a
godsend for all of us in the field of repairing and
collecting these wonderful pieces of American
heritage. Hats off, again, to Mr. Tran Duy Ly for yet
another monumental work..." "... Tran Duy
Ly came from Viet Nam 40 years ago. On a bus during
his first day here, he stepped on a lady's foot and said,
"Thank You" intead of, "I'am sorry!" Now he's the King
of Clock Books..." "... I have
always found Tran Duy Ly's books a very valuable source of
reference for dealers and collectors here in England.
I have most of them in my library and never cease to be
astonished that I can turn up an example of a particular
model with an actual drawing of the clock from the original
catalogue and even the original price. What more could
you ask?..." "... When we
began ClockGuy.com in 1998 it was immediately apparent we
could not run a major antique clock brokerage without owning
everyone of Tran Duy Ly's books. Couldn't be
done. Period. That invaluable investment has
paid for itself over and over again..." "... Tran has
expanded the information available on Seth Thomas and made
it accessible to everyone. He continues to work on
offering as complete an inventory as possible so that anyone
can view all models ever produced by Seth Thomas.
There is no tool more valuable..." "...
OVERWHELMING! The third
edition for Seth Thomas Clocks & Movements by Tran Duy
Ly and his staff cannot be described in any less
terms. Previously prepared editions by Tran
represented the most comprehensive information published on
Seth Thomas Clocks. The last was {2nd edition}
published in 1996. This 3rd edition Volume 1 and 2 is
so overwhelming in minute detail that it is a must-have for
any collector of American clocks..." "...
No one will find a better
resource for identifying and pricing antique clocks and
watches. High quality photographs, combined with
detailed descriptions of each clock make your books simple
to understand for any level of clock collector. Anyone
who purchases one of your clock books will find that
it will not be the last..." "... Well its here. Trans
new Seth Thomas book was on my door step this AM. From
'American Clocks Volume One'
Trans books have been superb. This new book continues
his great tradition. Easy to follow as the clocks are
all in alphabetical or numeral order. This book has
probably been the most anticipated volume he has
produced. The previous book has long been out of print
and copies of it were reaching hundreds of dollars when they
became available..." "...
from an Ansonia clock collector,
who has all your books and enjoy them dearly. Thanks
again..." "... Your
American Clocks Volume 3 is a needed
complement to your existing resources. Not knowing a
great deal about the early clocks, I have spent several
pleasurable hours with the book..." "... Thank you for the
very fine American Clocks Volume 1
that you have made available to us all. I find it most
helpful and I feel realistic, price wise! I look forward to
your next one so much!..." "... From the few
times we have met or spoken, is that you are a truly humble,
enthusiastic expert, who has been helpful and friendly to
me, as I try to learn about the subject to which you have
devoted so many years. It did not take me long at all
to know why you are an icon in the clock-collecting
community..." "... As to be expected your
American Clocks Volume 3
is highly informative and very well done.
Congratulations! "... Longcase
Clocks & Standing Regulators - Part 1,
will surely be the most important reference available
anywhere..." "... I have been dependent on
your clock books, they are absolutely invaluable as an
authoritative reference source for identification of clocks
including their movements, cases and current value.
For the tyro, intermediaries and the most advanced
collectors, your books are an absolute essential reference
for all clock enthusiasts..." "... Your Ansonia
Clocks & Watches was excellent. We
found pictures of some clocks that had evaded naming for
quite some time..." "... I have your book on
Ansonia Clocks & Watches and found it to be extremely
well done and very informative. I collect some Royal
Bonn china case clocks and it is very nice to be able to
identify them properly as to name, style,
etc..." "... I use your American
Clocks Volume 1 and Seth
Thomas Clocks & Movements quite often,
they are very well done and helpful publications.
Please keep up the good work..." "... Your clock identification
books and price guides are extensively researched and
provide the most comprehensive reference material
available. I sincerely appreciate the thoroughness,
attention to detail and the meticulous work that you has put
into publishing your books (clock collectors bibles) over
the years..." "... As a collector and
restorer of clocks, I find your catalog drawings the best
source of "original" appearance..." "... Tran, I received the new
book a couple of days ago. I have gone through each
page and feel this will be a great reference. I do
like the organization of the book, by style, not by year of
manufacture. Can't wait for Volume 2 to come
out!! Thank you for all of your efforts in this and
all of your books..." "... We are enjoying the Sessions Clocks book by Tran
Duy Ly. There is a wealth of info and the book is well
worth the price..." "...This Ansonia
Clocks and Watches will be well used here in
the library. I just wish I had had it last week.
I found a clock I was looking for in this edition that
wasn't in the previous one..." "... The Seth
Thomas Clocks & Movements - 3rd Edition, Volume 1
have been going very well, thank you. I have many
enthusiatic responses and a few people have come back to
order additional copies for friends and colleagues..." "... Your Seth
Thomas Clocks & Movements - 3rd Edition, Volume 1
is a very good book. It is well organized, highly
detailed and contains lots of information and clock
illustrations that I have not seen before. I never
imagined you could improve over your last edition, but you
did. I look forward to seeing the upcoming 3rd
Edition, volume II. Thanks and keep up the good
work..." "... Your Welch
Clocks is a great book, and I think you did a
super job of collecting all that material! It's really
amazing that you are able to dig up so much and put out all
these books..." "... I was delighted to receive
the copy of Longcase Clocks and
Standing Regulators... You are providing a
wonderful service to horological enthusiasts by making this
information available in easily readable form. Your books
have become the bible for many collectors eager to learn the
subject..." "... Tran - This is the best
one yet (I have all the others). Congratulations on a great
job. Thanks very much for the neat door
prize...." "... Your Seth
Thomas Clocks & Movements - 3rd Edition, Volume 1
is indeed very nice. I just love it. This
updated version is the most thorough compilation of the Seth
Thomas saga. A bible to clock collectors. It
contains many new, previously not documented items.
Super quality images..." "... Your Welch
Clocks is really well thought out and
presented in an orderly and logical fashion. Keep up the
good work..." "... American Clocks Volume 3 is a
quality contribution to the documentation of American clocks
-- a great reference!..." "... Tran Duy
Ly, more than any other author of horological books in
America, has repeatedly produced books that are right on
target for clock collectors around the world. Each new book
builds on the solid foundation he has established in the
past..." "...To the
collector of Waterbury clocks who has not been able to
acquire original catalogues or a representative selection of
their reprints, this Waterbury
Clocks book provides an invaluable source of
information..." "... Please
advise Mr. Ly that his latest publication New
Haven Clocks & Watches with a Special Section on New
Haven Movements is another one of his
excellent publications which I have added to my growing
library on American horology..." "... Tran's
publications have shaped the course of clock-collecting
throughout the world. He is a brilliant and
resourceful person whose commitment to horological
documentation and appraisal is immesurable..." "... I have
recently purchased the Connecticut Manufactured Clocks
series of your reference books and I love them! They are
very comprehensive and informative. As a new "horologist",
they have been extremely educational..."
"... I began
repairing watches & clocks in 1939, and since that time
have amassed quite a number of horological books (some
volumes, such as Berthouds, dating back in the 18th
century). But without a doubt the books by Tran Duy Ly have
become our most used source of reference. They are truly
fabulous..." "... Your
publications are a great service to the NAWCC!..." "... I am
proud to be associated in a small way with your books.
They are more than just picture books for neophytes.
They show so much, they document, they are making available
so much to more than a lucky few! Congratulations..." "... Your
book is used by the majority of clock collectors in the
Minneapolis area, both for identification and price. It is a
valuable asset to all clock collectors. I feel it is the
best guide on the market today..." "... Your
American Clocks Volume 3
looks fantastic and should be a best seller..." "... Tran Duy
Ly has done an excellent job in presenting the Sessions
Clock Company and its clocks. In addition to all of
the fabulous information, the inclusion of his up-to-date
price guide makes Sessions Clocks a must for any collectors
enthusiast. I am please to introduce Tran Duy Ly's
Sessions Clocks to the
collecting world. I am sure it will be a strong
reference for years to come..." "... You are
an antique clock icon! One who has brought much
knowledge to the common clock collector with your fabulous
books on American Clocks, everyone in the trade refers to
the books you write to identify clocks. You are the
MAN..." "... Another
contributor of notes is Mr. Larry Rappaport of Great Neck,
New York whose vast collection of Welch clocks, which
appears in Welch Clocks, is the result of a 20 years
intensive hunt. He told me, 'As a collector of
American clocks, my favorite references have been the series
of books on American Clocks by Tran Duy Ly. I must add
this new book on Welch which has details and facts never
shown before. I'll probably wear this one out soon
with my constant use..." "...American
Clocks Volume 3 is an excellent job and I congratulate you and your
team for putting it together so nicely. Writing such a
book is a monumental task as I well know from my recent
exercise with tower clocks ..." "... Thanks
for doing such a great job with these books. You are a
truly impressive author..." "... All
of your series on price guides and identification of clocks
have become an important tool of my trade. The cross
references and indexes expedite my research and have become
a significant part of my valuation process..." "... My
special thanks to Tran Duy Ly for making these books
available. His Welch Clocks
is just great!!!..." "... I think
you did a great job on the new Seth Thomas Clocks and
Movements 3rd Edition, Volume 1! Prices are more
reflective of today's marketplace and your layouts and
descriptions are as always, right on..." "... The fact
that an up-to-date price guide is available makes this American Clocks Volume 1 even
more indispensable to clock collectors. Our hat if off
to Tran Duy Ly and the continuing outstanding job he does in
containing clock experts everyday for clock information and
price trends. The clock community owes him a huge debt
of gratitude..." "... I find
the books, both the general ones and the ones devoted to a
single manufacturer, are extremely helpful in identifying
and dating clocks, not to mention being able to establish a
reasonable value for them..." "... I
recently purchased the title American
Clocks - Volume 1 by Tran Duy Ly and found it
to be an excellent book..." "...I
received your new Seth Thomas
Clocks & Movements and have thoroughly
enjoyed it. It is wonderful informative. You did
a beautiful job on it. I have several of your books
and they have truely helped me become more knowledgeable
about clocks. Thank you so much..." "... I
recently received the book on Ansonia
Clocks & Watches by Tran Duy Ly. It is an
excellent reference, well organized, well presented, well
thought out. I congratulate the author..." "... The
service that you are rendering to clock collectors is most
invaluable and will serve as a landmark for many years to
come..." "... I am
sure Gilbert Clocks,
like all of Tran Duy Ly’s other books, will be heavily used
by collectors. It is a valuable addition to every
collector’s library..." "... As a collector and restorer of clocks, I find your
catalog drawings the best source of "original"
appearance..." "... Your impressive book on Long
Case Clocks and Standing Regulators ...
should make available information on many types of clocks
that would not be accessible to the general collector.
Having repaired examples of so many of the clocks
illustrated, it brought back memories of clocks I have
repaired over the last sixty or more years..." "... Welch Clocks...
What a Great book! I and other clock enthusiasts, are
indebted to you for your scholarly informative research and
publications..." "... Your Seth Thomas Clocks
& Movements is great . The fact that you
can look up one movement number and see the changes over the
years is terrific..." "... As a clock tablet painter, I find your books a
valuable reference source in the determination and
replacement of the decoration which is faithful to the
original design of many of the clocks I help to restore..."
"... Tran Duy Ly has made the greatest contribution to
American horology "... Tran Duy
Ly's Ansonia Clocks & Watches
is a terrific book that contains the original catalog
reprints of every kind of Ansonia clock, the original prices
such clocks sold for and a listing of their current
values..." "... If the
reader does not have Ly's excellent book Seth
Thomas Clocks and Movements in his or her
horological library, he or she is urged to obtain a copy.
Not only will it serve to identify your customer's clock but
it gives estimated values. The section on movement
identification is especially valuable to the clock restorer
as it lists such information as mainspring sizes, pendulum
lengths, type of escapement, etc..." "... Long Case Clocks and Standing
Regulators serves as the clock collector's
best new, indispensable companion in finding and
understanding these splendid clocks. Serious collectors,
dealers and restorers are fortunate that Tran Duy Ly has
taken the lead in horological reference books..." "... American Clocks - Volume 1
is a handy encyclopedia reference and includes the products
of nineteen manufacturers. Thousands of different clocks in
various styles, movements, novelty cases, and appearance. It
is a quick and ready reference of all manufacturers, with
detailed index and cross references. A valuable addition to
the clock connoisseur's library..." "... It is a
rare visitor who leafs through one of Tran Duy Ly's thorough
identification and price guides, and can resist purchasing
it for their personal horological library. The extensively
researched and interesting histories prepared by experts in
the field make these books efficient reference guides..." "... Like all
of Tran Duy Ly's highly informative books, Welch
Clocks has become an instant bible and will
provide many years of pleasurable reading and accurate
reference..." "...Seth
Thomas Clocks & Movements is the definitive work on the
subject. It' a worthwhile investment for any collector
seriously interested in horology and for any dealer who
handles Seth Thomas clocks..." "... Your Longcase Clocks & Standing
Regulators - Part 1 - Machine Made Clocks is
an invaluable source book and an essential reference work
for the serious collector..." "... Your Ansonia Clocks & Watches
is incredible. I wish it had been available when I was the
NAWCC Librarian as it would have been an invaluable help to
me in answering questions. It is a book I would highly
recommend to everyone. The work you have done, and the
research and information you have added to the earlier
edition are wonderful..." "...The
organization you have provided for serious clock collectors
in your books has been a Godsend. As far as I am concerned,
you are the most influential horologist in the country..." "...He is
both an American success story and a publishing
marvel. Perhaps not since the novels of Polish-born
Joseph Conrad has any non-native speaker done so well
writing in English. While clock guides are not likely
to be studied in English literature classes, Ly's prose
style is clear, concise and readable without any of the
anomalies one would expect of a non-native speaker.
Like a famous watch, Tran Duy Ly takes a licking and keeps
ticking..." "...Please
pass my regards to Mr. Tran Duy Ly. His contribution
to the world of horology absolutely cannot be
measured. We are certainly blessed to have him..." "...Since I
have written over twenty mathematics textbooks for
McGraw-Hill and now at GetMath.com, I know the time and
effort it takes to produce a quality book, and yours are a
trustworthy source of information now and for as long as
people continue to collect clocks. I know from my
personal involvement with you on some of the books, that
nothing goes into one of your books if it is in any way
questionable, and for that reason, I always feel confident
in recommending them as an honest, reliable source of
information..." "...What an
outstanding Calendar Book
!!!! As an avid collector of Ithaca Calendar and Welch
Clocks I find myself constantly referring to your book for
quality information and price guidance. Tran Duy Ly is by
far the leader in his field of gathering and presenting
horological information for his clock books. His expertise
is second to none and puts him to the fore front of clock
collecting books..." "...I know of
only one world that describes your books... FANTASTIC!
A few years ago, I attended the NAWCC clock meeting in King
of Prussia, PA. During the meeting, I overheard some
clock dealers and collectors refer to you as 'Tran Don't
Lie'. After walking from dealer table to dealer table
at that meeting their 'nickname' for you made perfect
sense..." "...I love
the new Seth Thomas book, but why shouldn't I? It's
been a considerable void in my library not having either the
Seth Thomas or Welch books. I have often wondered how
anyone could consider himself a collector and not purchase
your books..." "...I just
received my copy of Seth Thomas
Clocks and Movements - 3rd Edition - Volume 1.
It was everything I expected and more!!! The
historical information on the Seth Thomas companies has been
expanded which is greatly appreciated by all who research
and collect these clocks. The section on dating
appears to have been greatly expanded from the second
edition which is an invaluable aid to many of us. I've
had the book only 24 hours so I'm sure I will find much new
information as I work through each page. As always,
the images are first quality and the expanded coverage of
clock models is unmatched in by any other source. My
only question is regarding Volume 2. How soon can I
get it? Thanks for the hard work put into producing
yet another benchmark reference...." "...It is my
private belief that in our widespread horological world Tran
must be considered a true "National Treasure." His
personal efforts and untiring energy has given us a fabulous
library of Horological literature which has taken our
knowledge to ever increasing heights. The scope and
detail in his books are indeed awesome..." "...Wow...
we are really impressed with American
Clocks Volume 3!!! This is a must have
for any Lux collector! As a reference book it is
unmatched in quality and very informative, you should be
most proud of your self. The cover is a real eye
catcher and looks great sitting on our coffee table for all
to see. It should be a great seller..." "...Tran's
books and price guides, and this marvelous new Seth
Thomas Clocks & Movements - 3rd Edition
are invaluable resources for researchers, collectors, and
dealers. His books are the only comprehensive guide
for the serious interest in American clocks. No other
publications anywhere rival the content attention-to-detail
that Tran Duy Ly so brilliantly puts into each of his
books..." "...I
received the books that I ordered and am extremely
impressed. Your husband is truly a master. I
never have seen anything like these books on the subject and
I will treasure them..." "... I want
to thank you for your excellent job on all your books as I
consider them very accurate and totally reliable in every
way!..." "... Your
books are a 'must have' for any serious antique clock
collector. They have been extremely helpful to me, as
both a source of identification and an indication of current
values. I eagerly look forward to each new volume you
publish..." "... I just
want you to know that the book is the best I've ever seen on
Ansonia. I have a few in my collection and were able to find
all of them in your book..." "... I
purchased from you American
Clocks Volume 2 for the subject Self-Winding
Clocks. Wow! Very impressive coverage. Great book..." "... Your
books has proven to be one of the most valuable tools in my
shop. They not only help customers and collectors
identify their clocks, but assists all of us in determining
their value. It has been, and I hope will continue to
be a pleasure to assist in some small way, in your
publication..." "... I received the books and to say how thrilled I was to
see how good they were. Wonderful reference..." "... I hope in time to own all of your books, as they are a
great resource for me in my new clock repair business. Thank
you..." "... Your
clock identification and price guide books are the best
guides on the market. They are accurate and complete and
very well organized. Since I buy many of my antique clocks
at auctions, the speed with which I can locate and identify
a clock with your guides is essential. Other guides do not
provide this organization and accuracy and require thumbing
through each page of the guide looking for a particular
clock probably not in the book. All of my old clock books
are now obsolete..." "... After
reading your book, I had the confidence and knowledge to
make my first clock purchase. Without the valuable
information your book contained, I would have bought several
non-original clocks... Thank you for helping me get
acquainted with a wonderful new hobby..." "... I got my new books today - they are fabulous! I love
them, but they seem to have just whet my appetite for more.
I may have to place
another order..." "... You have done a great job again on the new Seth Thomas
volumes!..."
"...
Specifically in one of your recent publications, American
Clocks - Volume 2, I was able to get the
answer I needed for a repair on a self-winding clock. I
could not find any information on how many turns are
required to pre-load the mainspring, however, on page 183
was the answer..." "... For any serious clock repair/sales
person, Tran Duy Ly’ books of clock history and
identification is a business imperative. As our family has
worked in the clock repair and retail sales business for
over 120 years, I can say that the availability of accurate
pictorial books on specific American made clocks has always
been a problem. There are many clock books available but
they cover one or two clocks in a line; rarely do they cover
a complete line of models or show the many case variatitons.
Tran Duy Ly’s books are invaluable for their scholarly
complete information. My library of his books allows me to
correctly answer customers’ questions as to age, history and
values of their family treasures. Call it his genius or just
a labor of love; Mr. Tran Duy ly continues to fill the
trade’s need for American clock identification and
history. Hats off to this great horological historian. Keep
the books coming..." "... I wanted to just take a moment to
congratulate your family on the fantastic service you have
provided clock enthusiasts over the years, especially to
people in Australia. As I first came across your books in
the late 1980s in the form of the Red Ansonia book that
served me for more than twenty years, until I updated. My
only regret is that I have only spent the last couple of
years collecting your books for myself, my son and family
members including my father, all mad clock collectors and
your books/guides are invaluable to us. Thank you very much
for the great service you have provided me, always prompt,
pleasant and efficient..." "... I have
been a clock collector for over twenty years and have done
an extensive amount of research on various types of clocks.
I use your identification and price guides because of their
accuracy and easy to find format. Whether it be an auction,
estate sale or even a clock show, they're with me all the
time. I deal with antique stores, clock makers and hobbyists
world wide, and we all agree, you can't find a better set of
clock guides anywhere!..." "... The
painstaking research by the author is clear and
evident. The reader is the real recipient and will
reap great rewards of how
he took the time to tell about these timepieces." "... Your
books sell like hot cakes!..." "...I am a relatively
new clock collector and finally ordered my first installment
of Tran Duy Ly books to build my library. I have been
extremely pleased with the books as a source of information
and general interest for that matter too. The books are
invaluable for researching potential purchases and gaining the
comfort that I am getting the right clock for the right money." "...I am new to collecting
clocks and use Tran’s books to not only see what they are
worth but to see if the clocks are original or have been put
together or missing some parts of the case. I also like to
see what movements the clock originally had. I am going to
get the new Welch book as soon as I can. It looks to be
great just like all the others." "...I have many of your clock books and will continue to add more. They are an extremely valuable reference source and a must for serious clock collectors. I especially like the Seth Thomas volumes with the wealth of detailed technical information they contain. The recent second edition of the Welch clock book is another one that contains information and illustrations which cannot be found anywhere else. Tran is to be congratulated for a stellar job on these along with all of his other books." Ed Grudniewski - Lakewood, OH
