"The most of all encomposing work on the subject to be published in many years, The American Clock is certain to become a standard reference work in this important and ever-growing field of collecting. The book is not intended to be a history of clockmaking in America; instead, its purpose is to collect into one volume a very large number of significant clocks of all types so that the collectors will have a substantial pictorial reference with which to compare their own acquisitions and to extend their knowledge of the field. ..." --Taken from the front jacket flap.
