Latest news on books

Post by marcelo_malara »

I started this thread to keep undisturbed the Yamato vs. Iowa discussion. Thanks to Bgile and Tiornu I noticed that a new book on naval gunnery is on the move: Norman Friedman´s Naval Firepower: Battleship Guns and Gunnery in the Dreadnaught Era (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/159114 ... 03-8362819). It can be preordered for just 44 $ (please, don´t discuss again what is expensive and cheap in books!!!!).

The once skyhigh priced Dreadnought Gunnery and the Battle of Jutland: The Question of Fire Control is now available in soft cover (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/041540 ... 03-8362819) for just 36 $ (far less than a two person dinner in the first world!!!).

And last but not least, I got a result from bookfinder of this:

ISBN 0851776876 / 9780851776873 / 0-85177-687-6
Title Naval Weapons of the Battleship Era 18in-5in Guns
Author Campbell
Language English
Edition Hardcover

Does anyone know what this is about? Surely is from the great John Campbell, but is it new or old? Is it in print?
