The fascination of musical boxes is such that more and more people have begun collecting these historic, delicate and beautiful instruments. Answering a real need, Graham Webb's book gives advice on how to choose them, and is illustrated with his own photographs of fine specimens. A useful list of manufacturers also helps one's choice. However, musical boxes often need some attention before their best performance is brought out, and giving them to a professional may mean a long wait. The Cylinder Musical-Box Handbook is prepared primarily for the enthusiast who want to restore to working order the boxes he has had the luck to find. A large number of clear and detailed line drawings and photographs, together with a comprehensive text, gives all the steps in cleaning a movement, restoring a case, making minor adjustments and repairs, repinning a cylinder, replacing broken teeth and tips, and redampering a comb. Cylinder musical boxes that need little attention can be set right if their owner turns to the appropriate section of the appropriate chapter; but if a box needs a thorough overhaul, the whole job can be done at home by following this handbook. The author recommends tools and replacement parts readily accessible to the layman; in the rare cases where this is not possible he has advised where to obtain them.

Short subject films have a long history in American cinemas. These could be anywhere from 2 to 40 minutes long and were used as a "filler" in a picture show that would include a cartoon, a newsreel, possibly a serial and a short before launching into the feature film. Shorts could tackle any topic of interest: an unusual travelogue, a comedy, musical revues, sports, nature or popular vaudeville acts. With the advent of sound-on-film in the mid-to-late 1920s, makers of earlier silent short subjects began experimenting with the short films, using them as a testing ground for the use of sound in feature movies. After the Second World War, and the rising popularity of television, short subject films became far too expensive to produce and they had mostly disappeared from the screens by the late 1950s. This encyclopedia offers comprehensive listings of American short subject films from the 1920s through the 1950s.
