Used Book in Good Condition
The thing Theory of Horology has over the others is that it is the most straightforward in presenting formulas for the various physics and mechanics at work in a watch. If you are a skilled mechanical engineer then it has what you would need to design a theoretical movement, but it does not really provide practical information about watchmaking and repair. If you're not a skilled engineer, then it's far less valuable and I know I've seen at least some of the equations in it presented elsewhere but not quite as condensed. If you're still interested in it I wish you luck finding it (I think I got the last copy on the internet) as it's a nice looking book, but by no means a necessary textbook.
It's not quite a textbook but I'm currently really enjoying Chronograph: Wristwatches to Stop Time as it has some pretty detailed history of chronographs as well as some great illustrations and photos of a wide array of chronograph movements.
