There are many issues with this copy, but it remains functional. There was a dodgy repair done many years ago (50ish?) that replaced the spine and taped many pages. This time around there is a new spine label, gluing of key parts, reinforcement of the hinges and many gutters, plus some archival taping. It remains a rough copy. Fifteen of the advert pages are missing, as is the engineering article. The British section is by far the most worn (see pix for the worst pages). The last dozen or so pages become progressively more worn. However, all of the reference pages are present, with most of them in decent shape. Every page has been examined. There are no notations or stamps. When laid flat, the book leans a bit to the right.   #488.  Click on "Warship Observer" above for 100+ listings of JFS.
