Summary: One star is over-rated
Review: I collect antique music boxes and have several books on the subject. I would say that around 90% of this book is devoted to modern toys and there is mere lip service to the exquisite machines from which they were derived. I also found it personally insulting that he claims to include restoration. If I tried to restore a music box after his instructions I would end up with a pile of parts and their condition would be irreperable--more damage than help.
