Superb reference to what today are classic airliners. Extremely detailed. The book has beautiful black and white photographs with most of them air to airs. The level of coverage is unmatched by any similar source book today. I was lucky to get my copy for less than the equivalent of $25 including shipping and bookseller's commission. I am based in India. Usually shipping charges alone are $40 -60 from the US / UK. As an airliner book collector I consider this book a collector's item.
