Sorry to be negative and I am doing this from a personal perspective but I was really disappointed in this book.
Lots of useful information, diagrams, plans and photos but the modelling section varied dramatically. The larger scale models were gorgeous but some of the other ones were er not so good.
It also said it had a list of boat models that were available but many were not according to the text and there are models out there that are not mentioned.
If the model section was dropped, apart from the good ones, and more details on how to create those models it would have been a winner.
