Not really, Most of my books are Dealer catalogues and not for customers

I planned on getting the AP Master watch maker since 1875 book (the one that came out at the end of 2011) after I read the RO book... Would you recommend me reading the this book BEFORE the RO book?

Both are great Mike, Francois Chaille's "Master of watch maker since 1875"
covers more of over all history of AP with beautiful illustrations.
But it doesn't need to be read before the Royal Oak Anniversary book.

Hey, Thomas. I have both the Francois Chaille and the RO 40th Anniv. volumes. Can you tell me bit about the book immediately to the right of the Chaille in your post #13 photo? BTW, I love everything you have posted about your "AP Room". I need to find one of those cool RO wall clocks for my own little corner of the house.......

@ Chris, That is a older book i received from my AD a couple of years back.
The book has lots of information about the family and the brand, With lots of vintage pieces in it

This is the 2nd edition of the book that was published in 1993 correct? I read the 1st edition is pretty rare and it's pricey.
