Seller's Description:
Dispatched, from the UK, within 48 hours of ordering. This book is in good condition but will show signs of previous ownership. Please expect some creasing to the spine and/or minor damage to the cover. Damaged book. Slightly damaged in some way typically, a grazed corner or torn cover. Ex-library book with stamps on the first page, it is also likely to have a small shelf number sticker on the spine.
Was surprised that it was written with extra large font. Helps these old eyes.
As always Mr. Ambrose is an excellent writer. Most of the stuff in the book was a repeat in his other more specific books dealing with other units. Thus the 4 stars.
