Well written and well illustrated. The font is a little too small but otherwise it was enjoyable to read. ( )

A basic handbook with good illustrations and lavish presentation. However, the gaps are very irritating as the dust jacket promised completeness. French Provence class, who survived into WWII, the Orion class of the RN, and some of the started but never completed classes aren't there, the Dutch in particular. So, it is a good book for what it covers, but it is incomplete. ( )
