Charles - London"Thanks for writing your book, I have read all the non-directory sections closely and enjoyed it all. I never fully understood the detail of the South Sea Bubble until now, which is fascinating. The book is a fountain of knowledge and I will always treasure it"

"Your utterly delightful (and weighty) tome arrived several days ago, and I have read through the whole of it (at least a first reading, it merits multiple readings and study). What a fine piece of scholarship! You should be made an honorific brother of the B.C."

"Dear Keith,
Early Clockmakers of the Blacksmiths' Company
Thank you very much for most kindly donating a copy of your new book to the Library of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers. I congratulate you on its production - not only does it look attractive, well illustrated and carefully laid out, but its content is clearly the result of a prodigious amount of research, time and effort.
All horologists should be grateful to you for ordering, setting down, and making available in the literature the accumulated knowledge and information which you have painstakingly gathered over many years, and I am very pleased to acknowledge with thanks your gift to the Company's Library.
Yours sincerely
Andrew James"
