Here's a superb book, and it barely matters that all text is in Japanese -- because you're going to want it for the photos! The editors of "Ships of the World" have selected 100 of the finest photos in their collection representing warships from Japan, the US, England, France, Italy, Germany and Russia. These are all stunning photos of the ships they've chosen, both in their framing and their clarity. You'll see details you've never seen before in many of them, making it a great reference for modelers or general naval enthusiasts. Includes full-page photos of the Yamato, Nagato, Hyuga, Arizona, Iowa, Yorktown, Bismarck, Gneisenau, Conte di Cavour, Repulse, Hood, Indianapolis and many, many more. Highly recommended. Soft cover.
