<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks Chris for drawing this to our attention.
Some may not know that Ron Dove was Manager of Potts, and he told me a great
deal of fascinating stuff about the firm a lot of which I am looking forward to
seeing again when I get the book.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think it's a good idea if list members when they
come across new bell or bell/clock publications note them on the list. I for one
would sooner be told twice than not at all.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><TT>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Those of us with a dual interest in clocks and
bells are delighted by the appearance of a new book by Michael S. Potts -
"Potts of Leeds - Five Generations of Clockmakers". It's a splendid production
- 432 pages, lavishly illustrated with photographs of buildings and their
clocks, and meticulously researched. It is published by John Robey of Mayfield
Books at £45 (plus £4 for UK postage and packing). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is a website for Mayfield, but the URL - <A
href="http://www.mayfieldbooks.freeserve.co.uk">www.mayfieldbooks.freeserve.co.uk</A>
- doesn't seem to work. There are quite a few titles that may be of interest,
including clock and watchmakers of ... several counties including
Herefordshire (John Eisel and T. Branston), Kent, Derbyshire and Central
England (Worcs, Warwicks and Staffs). Also a very good book on the clockmaker
John Whitehurst of Derby. All from Mayfield Books, Matherfield House, Church
Lane, Mayfield, Ashbourne, DE6 2JR. Tel 01335 344472. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not on commission! But John's publications
are excellent, and well worth supporting - this one on Potts
especially</FONT></DIV>
