Not his best book
I have read and enjoyed literally every book by Simon Winchester but found this one hard to read. A book about precision needs to be precise, detailed and accurate and this is what the author must have tried to achieve. Just that he loses the reader who I assume would be (like me) more interested in the history than every single technical detail. Still some interesting morsels here and there but overall... I was happy when it was all over.
