Welcome to the Books & Magazines Review index. As with all such reviews, they are subjective (human nature being what it is). If you disagree with a review, or would like to add to one, then please send it in.

We welcome reviews of books no longer in print as well. We intend to build up a review library of any book associated with ship modelling, be that in print or out.
