Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Welcome news for everyone interested in clocks is this brand-new book by the authority on American clocks. Brooks Palmer's previous volume, The Book of American Clocks, first published in 1950, has been reprinted many times and has become established as the definitive work on the subject. A Treasury of American Clocks contains more than 550 photographs, none of which appears in the earlier book. These illustrations of both faces and movements show the principal makes of clocks and timepieces in America from the early grandfathers to recent times. The examples represented were chosen as the most typical and interesting among thousands Mr. Palmer has viewed and studied over the past seventeen years--in museums, in private collections, and in dealers' shops. A treasury of American Clocks constitutes a chronological pictorial history, with full descriptive captions, covering such clocks as grandfather, banjo, lyre, gallery, pillar and scroll, shelf, steeple, novelty, and alarm. The additional list of Makers provides new data on clockmakers not previously described, as well as supplementary information on some of those listed in the first book. With this new book, as well as with The Book of American Clocks, to which it is a companion and sequel, Mr. Palmer has made a unique contribution in a field that has hitherto not received authoritative coverage." -- Book jacket
