Summary: A fine book, but not sure why I got it now.
Comment: OK, now that I have this book, I'm not sure why I got it. Maybe I should sell it since it seems to have gone out of print again and the used versions have skyrocketed in price! My copy is still in mint condition (barely opened!).
The book is mainly composed of engineering draft quality line drawings of the various parts of the Yamato (some 159 pages), with breakdowns of virtually every external part of the ship conceivable (e.g., masts, gun turret machinery, steam pipe vents, tackle, etc.). Nothing about the innards of the ship.
There's 8 pages of photographs, and sixteen pages of text describing the Yamato's history and construction.
A great book for model builders and Ultra-Enthusiasts of battleships!
Too bad I'm not one of those..... what the heck was I thinking anyways?.... it's just too easy to click and order from Amazon.com.

Summary: DEFINITIVE book available on this vessel
Comment: If you are interested in the Yamato from a historical, engineering or modeling perspective this book is a MUST for your reference materials. While only having a limited number of photos (Very few exist), the bulk of the information here is in line drawings and specifications. A top notch job of reconstructing the engineering of this mighty ship. The author has assembled about as much information as could be expected given the lack of material available.

Summary: The largest battleship ever built
Comment: Yes, this is back in print. The largest of the Anatomy of the ship series, the detail is mindboggling. The immense vessel truely depicts the stupidity of war, that large brute force will win the day.
The scale of this ship, and the detail in this book is nothing but intimidating. This is almost twice the size of the great US battleships, and to even contemplate building a model, do not even waste your money unless you had this works, and even then, when you see the amount of diagrams in this book, it will either put you off as you may not think you can do it justice, or you will spend at least a year trying to get it close to detail.
