Lib. with the usual stamping and stickers. The Dj. is good with some bumping and scarred at the base of the spine due to the removal of a library sticker, in a removable archival cover. From the erliest time man has striven to reproduce music automatically, and the first automatic organs are reliably thought to date back about three hundred years before Christ. Clockwork Music tells the story of the instuments of mechanical music in a novel way. The history and development of the instruments is interwoven with early anvertisements, announcements, catalogues and newspaper articles. These are all facimile reproductions and included among them are many rare, long out-of-print items. Ord-Hume is a collector, restorer and historian on the subject of mechanical music and is well known to museums around the world. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
