The book shows mild shelf wear to the externals with the exception of the spine which is quite faded and the beige cloth is chipped on the head and tail, with minor chipping on the joint.

Barkus, Sarah & Homer A. Know the Escapement. (Sixth edition, 1950)
San Diego, California. Barkus Horological Laboratories. 1950 Hardcover Good
12mo - 18.5 x 13 cm.; 201 pp. Red / brown cloth over boards with intricate blind stampings on the front (lettering and art work) and a textured relief effect on the back. First published in 1943, completely revised and extended in 1948, and then corrected for the sixth printing with the inclusion of lessons for training with Hand Model Escapement. This reminds me of bringing my great grandfather's pocket watch in to a venerable old watch maker for repairs. He had a slight tremor or shake (perhaps a palsy) in his hands and with the watch opened up being held over a large cloth draped over a wooden frame, a small piece fell out as he was examining it. The cloth 'tray' was piled high with small pieces from other watches and the small piece from the watch in hand just blended in. I looked at him with questions in my eyes and he looked back saying "I really don't like it when that happens". Well, such is life . . . The books shows mild wear to the corners and spine tips. The paste down end papers are browned on the edges and this browning is offset onto the free end papers. The binding is cocked (spine lean) and is a tad shaken. Otherwise very clean and still quite solid in spite of all that I say. A clear and removable archival cover has been fitted. 20373

Beaulne, Monique La Pierre Qu'ont Rejetee Les Batisseurs
Outremont, Quebec Carte Blanche 2001 2922291774 First Edition Softcover Fine
8vo - 23 x 15.5 cm.; 298 pp. Subtitled "Une Biographie du Pere Emile Marie Briere, Tome 1, 1917-1975". Illustrated with 8 pages of b/w photographs. Fr. Briere was a close confidante and spiritual guide of the late Catherine de Hueck Doherty, foundress of Madonna House. Stories about Fr. B are many but my favourite is when, talking with a young woman who had a fairly low self esteem and struggled with her place in the world, he replied "Of all the women in the world, you are the most beautiful". She brightened and began to glow from the inside out. Fr. B continued "Well, maybe - there is Sophia Loren". As Cardinal Suenens once commented, as a quiet aside, about Pope John XXIII talking of the Holy Spirit, "Un bon mot, vraiment - un bon mot". Un homme vraiment vivant, un cadeaux du bon Dieu. Needless to say, the text is in French. 1436
