Reduced size photocopy of original, but complete
This is a photocopy of the original and text is rather small, should have been printed in a larger size.

Historic, readable, exhaustive, fascinating, handy.
This is a delicious book for tinkerers. Two copies recommended: one for the reference bookshelf, one for the night stand. Every page is a wonder for the mechanically curious. Watch for these traits in a middle schooler, and pounce this book upon him or her. It will be treasured.

Maybe, This could be your last resort?
Not what I expected. Like a dictionary layout. If this is what you're looking for than here it is. Probably 40 percent of ideas are good for me. The images i posted, the whole book is the same but different forms of movements.

An Excellent Refference Book Full of Little Delights
It advertises 507 mechanical movements but the only mechanical movement this book makes is the turning of pages, 0/10 Jokes aside, all of the information on this book is available for free on the web as it is a public domain title, but if you are a fan of physical copies such as I, this softcover will serve you very well. It is affordable, the printing quality is authentic to the originals, and it solidly built. Overall, a good addition to any bookshelf. As for the contents, if you're one who upon understanding how a simple, ingenious solutions to a problem works opens up a wide, wonderment-full smile, this book is very much for you.

Snug book with lots of designs, font could have been better
I like the various movement illustrations. The description given for each is very short and that's the reason 500+ illustrations could be fitted in this book. The book is definitely an "ok" reprint and slightly obfuscated at places because of OCR scan on typewriter font didn't go well for this one. Eventually, if one has a knack for crafting things that move, this book can offer ideas. With a 3D printer, one can actually assemble most of these movement designs at home. Definitely a recommend for the tinkerers and curious folks.
