New second edition of Synchronome-Masters of Electrical Timekeeping now available
|
James Nye
Dear All,
This was mentioned a while back—I can now confirm that the new and revised second edition of Bob Miles’s Synchronome—Masters of Electrical Timekeeping is available for purchase. From soon after the publication of the first edition, Bob was hoping that a new edition could be possible. There were no large errors in the first edition, but a few small things came to light, and the eagle-eyed among you spotted many of them. Unfortunately we lost Bob earlier this year, but when I last saw him he was delighted to know that plans were very well-advanced to produce this new edition. The original run was 500, and went out of print after nearly three years. We have now printed 300 of the new edition. The eagle-eyed among you will see that we have managed to find a different image of Hope-Jones for the cover. This was given to me by Arthur Mitchell a few years ago, and he assured me it had not been published. It therefore seemed fitting to use it for the dustjacket. We have tried very hard to keep costs as low as possible, and the layout designer who produced the original edition very kindly gave all his time pro bono. The original book was £50, and the new edition just £25, but it is still over 2kg in weight, and therefore I very much regret postage costs are high, especially to our friends in Australia, the US and Canada. You can find details of the book, with drop down boxes that allow you to order it, here https://www.ahsoc.org/shop/books/synchronome/ With best wishes, James

James, I think some of my friends will want copies. If I bought several would there be a break onthe shipping cost? Price Sent via the Samsung GALAXY S® 5, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone
