Book Reviews of Fighting Ships 1750-1850
Book Review: OUTSTANDING
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is huge. The lithographs (photos, images, paintings) cover just about every page. These images and the accompanying text is absolutely first rate. This is not your typical "coffee table" type of book. To be perfectly honest, you should be shot if you had it laying on your coffee table. It deserves a table all of its own, and when you recieve this book, you will know why. As I am a model shipwright building wooden models of tall ships, this book stirs the imagination, and I would liken it to a "paper" museum of tall sailing ships. I would also say this book is worth every penny spent, and then some!
