Always happy with the Nile's service. Whilst dispatch can take longer than others, books are sourced at a great price from locations worldwide and from prior experience I know to order in advance. I ordered three expensive textbooks for uni, two weeks later they were dispatched and the next day received - all earlier than expected timeframe. Packaged very well, books intact. Great seller, updated tracking and items as described. A+++

  • Russian Wristwatches by Juri Levenberg

    This book is written to people interested in Russian wristwatches. You can find hundreds of pictures of Russian watches with a review of each of them. This reviews talk about type of movement, case, characteristics and years of production. They do not talk very much about the history of them, but the reviews are very interesting and useful for someone interested in these kind of watches. The book also has information about general history of Russian wristwatches and other kind of watches in the soviet times. In general it is a very interesting book for new collectors and people interested in this area.

  • Easy to understand

    I try to collect Russian watch but haven’t any information with it so, I found this book. In my idea this book gave me the primary information of Russian watch and its estimate pricing. Moreover, there also have many beautiful and interesting pictures. However, if the writer adds more information such as the history of each brand or share some technique to take care the watch it will be excellent one.

  • Nice and interesting, could easily have been better if all was in colors.

    A nice and informative book about Russian and Soviet watches and some clocks. The nice part is the many color pictures, but it also is a great disappointment that there are many pictures in black and white. When it comes to watches, especially Russian and Soviet, there are so nice and colors are important that it really is a waste and frustration to see them in B&W.

  • muy bueno

    todo ok
