from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
John McPhee has a unique investigative journalist style that I personally find very enjoyable, and he generally picks interesting topics to "meander" through. Looking for a Ship is not a disappointment in any regards to those who enjoy his writings. His general approach is to almost lazily wander... more info

from Naval Institute Press
Price: $28.35

Customer Review:
This would be a great book for solid hull modelers. Unfortunately I am a plank on bulk head and plank on frame modeler. It would be worth it's price to the right person. Even so, I was able to glean a few tidbits of knowledge that will serve me as I pursue my hobby.

from Tiller Publishing
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
This book is a disappointment not because it is poorly written but because it does not show the same improvement that the second showed over the first. In fact, I think it is at about the same level of the first, A PRESS OF CANVAS. What suffered in that one and this is not the actual writing, it is... more info
