THE ILLUSTRATED DIRECTORY OF TANKS OF THE WORLD, FROM WORLD WAR I TO THE PRESENT

By Ray Mehlberger

by David Miller
MBI Publishing Co. 
& Salamander Books Ltd.
ISBN 0-7603-0892-6

Publishers price: $11.95

Every once in a while a really good reference book, with lots of data, pictures, and a bargain price comes along. This new book surely meets those criteria.

This is a hand-held, paperback book, in an 8.5" x 4.5" page format. It contains 480, jam-packed, pages. There are 140 different tanks described in detail. The book is graced with 252 photos and 168 drawings of various tanks. Nineteen countries are listed that have produced their own tanks. These countries are arranged in the book alphabetically and their tanks are arranged chronologically, with the WWI ones first – on up to the present.

The book is an excellent reference for both the novice and advanced armor modeler. I highly recommend it.

I bought this inexpensive book at the Barnes & Nobles local bookstore.
