    This is an outstanding seller to deal with. Fair prices that are more than reasonable in this economy. The product is in better condition than described, a true value for my money. Packaged and shipped well shows seller has concern for the products he sells to arrive in excellent condition. The seller is friendly and communicates timely with his customers. I highly recommend this seller and would do business again anytime. Thank you!

    Great seller! Item is what I ordered; good communication; shipped promptly; good value. NOTE TO SELLER: packaging was NOT appropriate for item; it was a flimsy, plastic envelope, with no stiff material to prevent creases. The book came with two deep creases that involved the *entire* item: one is a 1" triangle lower left side (bound edge); the other is a 7" triangle on upper right side (open edge).

  • Great refernce book for USS Enterpise fans

    This book is a great reference for anyone wishing to build and improve any scale model of the CV-6 USS Enterprise. This book covers her whole career from construction to her sad salvage breakup. As stated in the description the book does have many rarely published photos photos of various areas of the ship including the hanger bays. There are some good pictures of the damage she received in the many battles she participated in for those interested in modeling this sort of diorama.
