Hello @Allegheny ,

I did not purchase the book from the publisher. I ordered it from Boekhandel ABC in Deventer (Netherlands) through the Dutch antiquarian books website boekwinkeltjes.nl. I just saw to my surprise they have still more copies available for the same ridiculous price. Below is the link.

Thank you for the link.
According to the site that shop still had 12 copies. I have just sent them a request to contact me.

I got three books for Father’s Day. Ship Modeling Simplified by Frank Mastini has been a great read so far, and I’m sure I’ll return to it as I progress in the hobby. Rigging Period Ship Models and Period Fore-and-Aft Craft by Lennarth Petersson will definitely be more useful once I move on to more complex models.

I picked up two of the three above, Ship Modeling Simplified and Rigging Period Ship Models with the goal of transitioning from plastic to wood kits. Have a couple other guide books as well to help with building period ship models. Lots to read before winter gets here, lol.

Good to know my daughters chose the right books !! I will give a look to Ron McCarthy book. Thanks for sharing.
 
I have also picked up a few books in the Anatomy of the Ship series that cover kits I have on hand or want to build: HMAV Bounty, Cutter Alert (to help with my Lady Nelson kit), and USS Constitution, plus a couple on British Frigates to help with the La Flore kit I have (packaged by Revell as the Flying Dutchman). Not only are these all informative reads, they offer some pretty good details to help the modeler.

I'm going to have to be careful reading this forum thread, lots of good books out there but my library is almost at max capacity!
