Checked the books out and both are listed as currently unavailable from Book Depository and Abbey books. From where were you able to source them from if you don't mind me asking?.
As like many other ship modelling books, these two are not published anymore currently and there is no new copies in the market. I found them on ebay and abebooks as used books. There are some immediately available on these marketplace but the price are quite high.
Thank you for your prompt reply. Correct, Abebooks say 'currently unavailable'
Ummm just looked at "Abebooks Rare and Hard to find" ..... Vol 1 and Vol 2 price range USD246.23 -> USD1,072.61 Think I'll pass on these two
For everybody interested in these books, please take a look at the book review of

Good evening, for the classic French navy the 74cannoni and for
James Lees' English The Masting and Peter Goodwin's Sailling Man of War, certainly also period manuscripts are important
"some books in my archive" .. what a great collection you have
. You can start a public library
Excellent collection of books. I note with interest those pertaining to the military. I have several on the Regia Marina fortunately all translated into English. I think in your collection relating to weapons of WW2 you do not have this "Manuale Del Silurista" 1938. Stabilimento Tecnico Fiumano. (Whitehead Torpedo factory) - Cheers.

Hello Cons, Thank you for appreciating my books, I don't have the book you mentioned, I have these projects, I am attaching a sheet
Thanks for the answer. I have Jame Lee and agree that is a really good book. Well, I have now to keep some of my budget for the expensive 74 cannon. I had na eye on these, but scared about the price.
