About
Akedemia specialises in horological literature. Most books are in excellent clean condition, any significant defects will be indicated in the description. Each item has been closely examined to ensure all pages and illustrations are present and for any imperfections. I am willing to combine postage and these costs will be charged at cost price. Should you be seeking any specific horological title please feel free to contact me as I do have an extensive library.
