This book is a decent book, but it only gives a brief look at each sailing ship. There are photos of each ship, then probably between 1 and 2 paragraphs discussing each ship. I had hoped there would be a bit more meat and potatoes to this book, but from the appearance, it's all garnish...

This book offers a unique and close to encyclopeadic collection of pictures and details of the currently sailing tall ships around the world. Having sailed on a few and seen many more whilst sailing in both Europe and the UK I found pretty well all of them in here.
Thad is a reknowned photographer of the tall ships and has been for many years. This collection brings all of that together in one place with the usual quality and understanding of his subject matter that you would expect.
I was particularly fortunate to meet the author and get a signed copy during The Tall Ships Race 2000...and no it is not for sale!:-)
