Rigging first-rate ships of the Royal Navy, circa 1805

[Sapper]

I am no expert in model ship-building, but this book by Thomas Gropp (using as it's basis HMS Victory c1805) appears to be exactly what I need, detailing every aspect of the rigging in good clear illustrations. I fully expect to use it as my bible for the next stage in my Caldercraft build. 5 stars!

I have someone who finds rare books for me. He said that he can't find this book anywhere. Amazon lists it but he said that is not connected to a real book. Can you show me a link to where I can buy it?
Cheers

I show it still at Amazon. Of course, I'm in the US.

I also show one on Ebay, but at a much higher price. People are nuts !

Strange how things come up on Ebay at ridiculous prices, I guess it's just chancers who throw a bait out there and see who bites.

I think that's exactly what it is.
