Yes, but what's the price for Brassey's like in the US?

Let'me check ... The Year 2000 edition listed for about $80.00 US,
less 20% for buying it form a distributer. The technical information
is much more comprehensive than _Jane's_, and covers a much wider
timeframe. (In other words, it has accurate information on older
stuff still in service.)

When you compare it to the new "streamlined" versions of _Jame's_,
going at more than $150.00 US a pop, I know where I'd rather put my
money.
