" Open the back cover of a fine watch! If you are a novice you might gaze in wonder and ask the question, is all this necessary just to keep time? If you are an amateur or hobbyist you might appreciate the fact that this mechanism could be made at all. As a technician or horologist, maybe you will look at it with full understanding of who and what brought it about and also appreciate its excellent precision and ability to keep time to a fraction of a second.

So, it is with this book. It has appeal for the novice, who may read it just because it is interesting and entertaining. The amateur or hobbyist will find new and factual material to be added to his knowledge. The technician or professional repairman will find his thinking challenged in a most rewarding way.

All who approach this book either through casual reading or careful study will come away having learned more about the wonderful world of Musical Boxes.
