Description: Twelve beautiful "Anatomy of the Ship" series books, all with dust covers and in like-new condition. (Only ENDEAVOUR has some minor dust cover issues as shown in pictures.) Not all pictures would fit - please contact seller for additional photos as necessary. Purchase individually for $30 each (or $300 for all twelve) with free shipping in the U.S. This highly acclaimed series aims to provide the finest documentation of individual ships and ship types ever published. It is a radical departure from the usual monograph approach, which concentrates on either the ship's service history, its technical details or external appearance. All of these aspects are included, but what makes the series unique is a complete set of superbly executed line drawings, both the conventional type of plan as well as explanatory perspective keys. Although elaborate drawings are extremely popular in aviation publications, this is the first attempt to document a ship in similar depth -- literally down to the nuts and bolts. These drawings are accurate, visually exciting and totally comprehensive, offering ship buffs, historians and modelmakers a novel insight into the technicalities of each ship type covered.
