It is here! Perhaps the most popular company clock book, Tran Duy Ly's Seth Thomas Movements and Clocks has long been out of print.

Volume two is offered separately.
Volume one is a whopping 576 pages with Arlington Books typical high quality paper and hardcover binding. Tran Duy Ly s important tips, a well-written history of the company by Chris Bailey, a chronology and an important section on dating on Seth Thomas clocks lead off the book. The bulk of the book are Seth Thomas clocks. Alarm clocks, automobile clocks, banjo clocks, calendar clocks, carriage clocks, chime clocks, city clocks, cottage clocks, crystal regulators, hanging clocks, longcase clocks and standing regulators, and mantel clocks including Adamantine, cabinet, cabinet electric, desk, iron and leather mantel clocks.
A review by Richard Oliver follows
SETH THOMAS CLOCKS & MOVEMENTS, Volume 1, 3rd Edition.
By Richard W. Oliver, Jr. "The Clock Guy"
It's Finally Here! When we opened our draft copy of Tran Duy Ly's Third Edition of Seth Thomas Clocks and Movements, Volume 1, 3rd edition, it was instantly clear he had another best-seller on his hands and that we were going to see some clocks we'd not seen before. With the value of Seth Thomas clocks increasing more rapidly than any other maker in the past several years, this book is a mandatory investment for all serious American clock collectors. Our Second Edition copy is the most frequently referenced clock book we own. It's simply the most definitive work on Seth Thomas ever published, until now.
