rtropp Posted September 6, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 6, 2014 I am interested in purchasing a copy of Masting and Rigging of English Ships of War by james Lees. I have noticed two different covers, one grey with a color picture in the center, the other a yellow brown with a line drawing. Can anyone tell me the difference between the two. Thanks, Richard Quote RichardMember: The Nautical Research Guild Atlanta Model Shipwrights Current build: Syren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Lad Posted September 6, 2014 Share #2 Posted September 6, 2014 Richard, The yellow cover was used on the first edition in 1979, and the grey cover with the photo on subsequent editions (from 1984 onward). In my (1990) edition, the 1984 edition is noted as a 'revised' edition and 1990 as a 'reprint', but there is nothing to say what (if any) additions or corrections were made from 1979 to 1984.

druxey Posted September 6, 2014 Share #3 Posted September 6, 2014 I believe some minor errors were corrected in the second edition.
