Seller's Description:
Very Good in Good jacket. This old book with dust jacket is clean, solid, and in great shape! This is a hardcover book with several photos. The binding is strong with all pages firmly attached. The pages are clean with no soiling, writing, or tears. The dust jacket is clean with a hint of edgewear (No Chips). The DJ has been placed in a fresh mylar jacket.
My first problem with this book was the author's total ignorance of things navy. My second was putting everything in quotation marks. Was often unnecessary and made reading difficult. Photo selection and quality are horrid. My biggest problem, however, was how much of the book was cribbed from Queen of the Flattops by Stanley Johnson. Hoehling states his book is from personal interviews. Books on the subject are secondary. Then how come his book has quotes, supposedly from 1971 interviews that appear verbatim in Johnston's book, written in 1942, but attributed to a different person??! Non interview material from the 1942 book also appears without attribution in the 1971 book. Buy Queen of the Flattops instead.
