Oh yeah, I was eyeballing that book too.  It's the pictorial/illustration and plan reference that I'm wanting to find, little more detailed then what I can find online, and with a good dose of historical corretness.  For a lot of other things (architecture, victorian items, costumes) I tend to grab Dover publishing books. 

The bookstores here will order books for you too. I'm kind of embarrased to go to the bookstore and order 4-5 or so different books just to see what's in them :(  and maybe or maybe not buy one. I wasn't sure which one may have what I'm after. Your mention of encyclopedic reference describes pretty well what I'm interested - if the illustrations are suficiently detailed. Last two three trips to the bookstore, they didn'thave ANY ship modelling books.

One or two books I don't mind buying, I'm a bookworm of sorts as it is.  Maybe this weekend I'll have time to visit some other bookstores, or work up a nerve to order a book.

Thanks for the modelling link... I'm rather familiar with how to model a ship (my dad is a naval architect/engineer)...That is a really really good tutorial. I love to see how other people do it. Never hurts to learn a new trick :)

The ship plans site is great!!!  Thanks a bunch :)  Who knew there is a ship site I didn't know about  LOL!
