Chock full of plans of freighters, tankers, passenger ships, Lakers, concrete ships, wooden cargo ships, etc. You may find it in the reference section of libraries, and arrange an interlibrary loan (I found my first copy at the California State Library). If you go looking for a copy of your own, however, be prepared for a HEFTY price tag....<< Today I did try to order the book from my library, but they couldnīt find it - neither in European nor in American databases. Please let us have more information of the book, so it can be found. Regards Erik Erhardtsen ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) From Dizzydismal@cs.com Subject Hobby and Book stores in St. Louis I will be in St. Louis the week of Aug 8. Does anyone know of good hobby or book stores in the area. I will be attending meetings at the Airport Crowne Plaza.

We need something like "The Kellys" on Victorian Battleships and Battleships 1865 to 1919. Vol 1 to 7 - RN, French, Russian, German, USA, Italian, and lesser Navies?
