Round-up of gear-making books

Automata artist Dug North has posted a round-up of books related to gear-making and is looking for suggestions for others.

After seeing the beautiful use of gears in Bill Durovchic’s kinetic sculpture, I started looking for books on gears. The following books all look good and get great ratings from Amazon’s vast customer base.

Additional suggestions are welcome!
