"How To Fix Your Own Clock" gives simple answers to basic minor problems that can be easily corrected by most clock owners. This book is written for the typical mechanical clock owner who knows little about clocks - and who doesn't want to run up a repair bill if it can be helped. The book is in an easy to understand question and answer format, and comes from actual questions from the author's newspaper column. The author, Richard Hansen (a master clock repairman and owner of his own clock repair business for 15 years), knows that often, a clock may need little more than the correct set-up, or a minor adjustment to go from "dust collector" in your attic - to "treasured and accurate timepiece" in your living room! He wrote this book so you can get your clock going - and keep it going - easily and inexpensively!

Figure studies of 12 female professional nude models taken over a 4 year period. The beauty of a dozen women is brought out in both indoor and outdoor settings. Whoever designed the female human body did one heck of a job, didn't they? Artists of all types - painters, sculptors, photographers and others - have been attempting to show us their vision of it for thousands of years. It's been done so many times, by so many people - wouldn't you think that someone would have finally created the perfect rendition by now? No one has done it yet, nor will anyone ever do it. We have always been fascinated by the female human form (and we always will be). Inside this book are a few examples of author/photographer Gary Melton's vision of the most popular subject matter for artists since the beginning of time. Gary's work is all about capturing light and shadow so that a photograph's two dimensions appear to be three. It's also about accentuating women's natural beauty, while still giving you subtle hints about their sensuality. Come look "through Gary's eyes" and see what he sees. Give your eyes a treat. ** This is the Standard Edition **

Do you remember the last time you were intimate with someone for the first time? You know - the last time you saw the uncovered body of a specific woman for the first time.

Come explore every inch of her decidedly female form...bring back memories of someone you've explored before. Linger in those feelings! Author/photographer Gary Melton has captured that experience through his images, and placed them on the pages of Exploring Jessica: An Artistic Exploration of One Female Form.

It's also about accentuating a woman's natural beauty, while still giving you hints of her sensuality. ** This is the Standard Edition **

Peter Manik and Alane Deviare have collaborated to create a wonderful collection of photographs that combine 2 seemingly opposite concepts: glamour and horror. They started by synthesizing Alane's beauty, acting skills and modeling skills with Peter's artistic and photographic skills. Then they added a generous portion of each of their imaginations, and finally a dollop of each of their senses of humor. The result is their new book: GlamourHorror. While combining glamour and horror is not a totally new concept (witness how many people have become practically obsessed with sexy movies and stories about vampires), Peter and Alane have attempted to give it a unique and fresh look. They feel that beauty and perfection is a universal desire - in great part because the media hypnotizes us with glamorous images, and keeps us hungry for an unreachable ideal. They wanted to challenge this perfection, by injecting gross horror into otherwise beautiful images, to question the concept of glamour. Our perception filters beauty - what is alluring to one person may repulse another. The standards of attractiveness vary across cultures and religions, it even mutates within ourselves. Peter and Alane encourage you to take a look at these images and think about your own contrasting beliefs about idealistic beauty. Perhaps you too will find that beauty is, in fact, in the eye of the beholder.

Correctly choosing a proper replacement main spring when a clock has missing springs (or the wrong springs installed) is a very common problem that clock repairmen often face. From the beginning of his career as a clock repairman, Richard Hansen noticed that when his customers brought him their clocks to be repaired, he would often see evidence of poor repairs, poor techniques and even gross mistakes inflicted on them by previous repairmen. He wondered why he should believe that every spring he found was, in fact, the perfect one for the clock in question? And when he found a spring where the outer end had obviously been re-worked (thus making the spring a bit shorter), he wondered how he would know if it was not then too short? Was it possible to redo the end again, or will that make the spring impossibly too short then? This book is a result of his work to answer some of those questions about choosing springs. It provides a methodology whereby answers can be found by using a set of look-up tables. It's a solution intended for the use of clock repairmen at their bench to find those answers with a minimum of time and effort needed for any given clock in front of them.
