Clocks, Watches/Welby mantle clock

Question
QUESTION: I have purchased an old (not sure how old) Welby (Westminster) chime clock in excellent condition and I love it. It appears to be running well and keeps excellent time, but I would like to keep it that way.

Can you recommend any books that might be along the lines of wind clocks for dummies? I have picked up a couple at the local library, but they are all nearly devoid of pictures, diagrams, etc. Long on words, short on pictorials.

Appreciate any help you can provide. I can see a new hobby coming on.  Thanks,

Ron

QUESTION: I guess what I was hoping for was some idea of which books were better for newbies and which had good pics and diagrams.
It's hard to tell just looking at a listing.
