I recently downloaded a Kindle copy of this book for my iPad and have just completed it. A fascinating account of the development of those vulgar tubes and how their placement and development changed as the construction of ships evolved over hundreds of years. Maybe an interesting read for those reflective moments when you too are, shall we say, “sitting in state”

An enjoyable book taking the reader through the history of this very important piece of shipboard equipment.
I really enjoy the Brian Lavery books so I was pleased to find a relatively scarce but “like new” copy of this 1995 book. I’ve copied the brief overview inside the front dust jacket for reference.

Edward J. Tosti: The Naiad frigate (38) 1797, Volume I and Volume II
I had the possibility to buy both volumes in brand new condition. The book contains a lot of advice on how to build the myriad details of such a ship. Even though the frigate is too big for me as a model, these help me in building my models.

I recently added a couple of books from Ancre to my small library. As usual the books were very well packaged and protected, which I really appreciate from book sellers like Ancre.
Uwe @Uwek posted an excellent review of L’Aigle, which prompted me to purchase the monograph of this fine looking vessel. My interest lies in the type of construction details for this vessel so I went with the 1/75 scale plans. It would be great for a future build but at that scale the model would be a space consuming 133cm (4’ 4”) in length. That would mean my wife would have to move into the garage
