Reviews
"""This is an excellent photographic compilation of these two famous ships. The close-ups of previously-published photographs are very well done. Modelers will have no shortage of close-up detailed images to aid in their models. I highly recommend this book."" --Nautical Research Journal ""A must-have, and likewise for anyone considering modelling any of these perennially fascinating but under-documented warships."" --Warship ""The Imperial Japanese Navy's 'Super' battleships Yamato and Musashi were the two largest and most powerful of their kind ever built.... They were magnificent examples of the shipbuilders' art and very significant in naval history.... This finely detailed and beautifully presented book does those magnificent ships proud. Replete with many excellent photographs and detailed drawings, it gives a comprehensive overview of their construction, trials and operations.... [A] fine book."" --Baird Maritime"
