I really liked this book.
This is the second book I've gotten from Robert Race and I like it. It's cleanly written with good descriptions of the mechanisms of the toys and automata. Lots of examples and things to make and samples from all over the world as well as projects of his own showing how to utilize the ideas of that chapter. I'm trying to learn how to make moving art and this was definitely a big help in getting me going in the right direction.

A real ‘grown up’ toy
Interesting and easy to use. Use it with your kids. A real ‘grown up’ toy, they’ll love making the models.
