Review: Nice introduction to automata, well written - I like this book. Its interesting to read and give you ideas for your own little projects.
Review: Moving swiftly on - I bought this book before I retired as a Design and Technology teacher in a secondary school. I found the projects to be excellent for the more able students in a subject which is increasingly turning to CAD/CAM. While I understand that students should be familiar with the processes used in "real life" I think it is essential that they also understand how to use hand tools and basic materials. This is one of several books I bought which I believe further this ideal and highly recommend it, especially for after-school clubs. There is also the fact that kids love things which do something, and this book is filled with that kind of project.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book
*by A***C on 13 July 2020*

If you are interested in making automata you should but two books. This one and the one from Cabaret Mechanical Movement. You will have al the information you need. This is a large glossy affair, full of interesting history, ideas and a set of projects to build the main types of mechanism you will need. It’s really good!
