AntonyUK Posted February 14, 2014 Share #1 Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Hi. I have just purchased the book and it is a excellent resource for ship modeling covering all aspects of the ship. Most diagrams are very clear and precise and to scale. Loads of photos and construction methods are shown and discribed in great detail. I am very impressed with the book. Just one more to get then I am happy. Regards Antony. Looking for book -: The Arming & Fitting Of English Ships Of War 1600-1815 - Lavery - Conway.

NMBROOK Posted February 14, 2014 Share #2 Posted February 14, 2014 Hi Antony,is there much information on my favourite period,late 17th century? Kind Regards Nigel Quote Currently working on Royal Caroline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMBROOK Posted February 14, 2014 Share #3 Posted February 14, 2014 WoW Chris,I have a new source now for secondhand books I found AOS Victory for £10.Amazon had been known to ask £100 plus for used examples.I think Amazon is now the last place to look for s/h out of print stuff.

NMBROOK Posted February 14, 2014 Share #4 Posted February 14, 2014 I have just ordered the above book for £42.50 delivered s/h.It pays to shop around Chris.I think it may pay to order from Europe to save money.£42.50 is probably 30 cdn dollars.I got mine from Abebooks.co.uk,unfortunately this was the only available copy at the minute,but they do ship internationally so well worth a look when you have been quoted those sort of prices.

NMBROOK Posted February 14, 2014 Share #6 Posted February 14, 2014 That one Antony I got mine from Abe books,but Amazon do have several copies at the moment listed around a similar price.I thought I would take a punt as once it's been mentioned on here,you struggle to find a copy Incidently Amazon have a new one for two hundred and something,yeah right,who's going to pay that!

SketchupModeller Posted February 15, 2014 Share #7 Posted February 15, 2014 FYI, Nigel, £42.50 is closer to $80 Canadian. Still, a very fair price for that book. Quote Brandon Current project: HMS Pandora (1779) CAD build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
