Jeff Savage has done an outstanding job in putting together a convenient database for the clock collector. Thousands of clock sales can be accessed using key words to narrow the search. This reference is probably the best way to determine/estimate the value of clocks. It also provides links to dozens of useful internet sites for the clock collector. It is the best reference that I have found and worth its price many times over. I would also recommend that collectors contact Jeff Savage to learn about his even more complete database which is offered through a yearly subscription.

I am a personal property appraiser in Birmingham, AL, with a specialty in antiques. It seems to me that in almost every appraisal I have there is at least one clock. Most old clocks are not only very beautiful, but they run forever! They are passed down from one generation to another, and everyone wants to know a little history about their clock and its value today. Jeff Savage has opened a new tool of research for individual owners or professional appraisers. This book supplies a tremendous amount of information about the history of clocks, helps in identification, names of makers, etc., PLUS the unique feature of being able to go to a special web site and see pictures of thousands of clocks and with their up-to-date values.

I have already used it several times in my appraisal work. It is very easy to use. You do not have to be a computer expert to navigate the web site.

Everyone has an antique clock. Find out about the one you have...or call an appraiser to do it for you!

Anyone with an interest in antique clocks will throughly enjoy this book. Perhaps the most comprehensive and useful clock reference I own. As a residential contents appraiser, specializing in antiques; I own many types of clock price guides, value guides and reference books. This will certainly be one of my favorite and most used.
It includes an exceptionally well written history of clocks, with tips to dating clocks, patent numbers, British registered design numbers. The glossary of types is illustrated with comprehensive discriptions.
The authors include many wonderful on line links to dealers, museums, shops, organizations and other resources.
Values shown are the actual auction realized prices. This is so helpful for buyers, sellers, appraisers, or anyone who loves old clocks.
Other particularly interesting areas are tips on buying and selling, determining age, types of value and what a clock appraisal should include.
4000 clocks with thousands of color photographs, American, English and Continental; this book is a must have for my library.

Great photo's of Mike with detailed info on him and the mets.

This is a wonderful book for children. The chapters are short but informative. There are many lessons to be learned here, including the meaning of the word determination, and the importance of family. Mike didn't start out to be a catcher but learned the position and is now the best.

Being a New England Patriots fan I decided to read this book and I liked it. It told about Drew Bledsoe from his childhood days to present day. It was very thorough and descriptive about the quarterback's life. If your a Drew Bledsoe fan you should pick up this book!

Biography of Jeff Gordon, who excelled in car racing at a young age and is currently considered a leader in the sport. His story is one of not quitting, even when the odds are against you. When he ws 4 years old, his stepdad threatened to take away his two wheeler if he could not master riding without training wheels, so he practiced all day and when his stepdad returned, he could ride. Later, when he startted racing, he was underage for many races, so he tried to look older by using eyebrow pencil on his mustache in order to compete. Eventually his family moved to the midwest where there were no age barriers for races, so he could regularly compete. Besides being an excellent racer, he is a positive role model to youth, giving much of his earnings to charities. Includes photographs, glossary, index, and bibliography.

This book is about Julie Foudy, the greatest soccer player ever! It begins by trying to explain just how impressive it is to watch her play. The book then goes to her childhood, and how her family helped her to become a great player. It explains all the sports she played in from the time she was a child till now. It also tells you about the people, and events, in her life that made her who she is today. Her role in the 1996 Olympics is explained, and so is her position on child labor. In my opinion, Julie Foudy is the best soccer player ever, and this book tells for how she got to where she is.

If you are a girl who loves horses, racing, or wants to be a jockey, then this is the book for you! This book doesn't get way deep in the story of Julie's life so the book bores you to death, but it stays on top and basically outlines the goods and bads of Julie's extremely successful life. It is a great book for pictures and information. If you have read this book, or were going to read it, then I suggest you also look into getting Riding For My Life, a biography that goes a little deeper into Julie's heart and soul. I love this book, and I reccomend it to anyone who loves Julie Krone, but when I say that, I might as well be saying That I reccomend this book to everyone!

This book was realy good. I learned alot about dirtbikes thats why I recomend this book to anyone that likes dirtbikes especially bigginers. It tells you about the clutch throttle etc. So if you like dirtbikes check out this book.

This book reflected on Sammy's life as a child and a big leaguer. This book also talks about how he was brought up in life, as a child and as a miner in baseball and when he first was in the majors. Sammy didn't always have a great batting average but he steped up to the plate one day and started hitting moon balls. Then once he started hitting moon balls pitchers where starting to pay a lot more attention to Sammy and the fans started coming and looking at Sammy as the greatest player of all time.

Karl Malone, an awesome, super star basketball player. In high school, he was a slacker that did not care for his grades. By his sophomore year he decided to work hard and get good grades. He was tired of practicing with the team and not playing in any games. By the middle of his sophomore year he had accomplished this and was practicing and playing. By the end of his senior year, he had two colleges fighting over him with scholarships. He decided to go with Louisiana Tech. Karl had started working on his grades a little late and had an average of 2.7 and he needed to have a 3.0 average. I believe any person could read this book, because it is easy to understand and read. I really like this book because it has a great theme, that theme is that if you work hard and want something work for itand you most likely will get it.

A terrific introduction to wrestling for young people who are interested in getting into the sport or who just want to learn more. It's got a lot of good pictures and reads very nicely
