Dublin: A Guide to Dublin's Clocks and Bells", it's published by First Return
Press in Dublin (ISBN 978-0-9533320-9-0). It's available through Amazon (<FONT

it) - and I got my copy today. It's a 191pp paperback. Price

<DIV><FONT size=2 face="Comic Sans MS">It's a second edition of a book published
in 1992, apparently, although I'd never encountered it. Comprehensive in terms
of clock and bell locations covered, but a bit thin on detail sometimes (e.g.
mentioning Murphy bell but without giving the date). Includes all the Dublin
area rings and clock chimes. Haven't read it in any detail yet, but from a quick
glance I can see it contains quite a bit of fresh material on interesting
installations. Certainly goes places that Fred Dukes didn't cover!</FONT></DIV>

value for the price</FONT></DIV>
