I have the presumably older ISBN 0851773281. It has 120 pages.

Also 1/192 scale plans of HMS Belfast as of 1939, 1943 and 1945 can be obtained from WEM.

I think I never sent you anything on Belfast also, I'm here if you want specific things :wave_1:

Thanks for the advice! I've now ordered the book - hopefully when it arrives I can get back to building my 1/200 model (lack of reference is one of the reasons I stopped work).

I think the "96 pages" of ISBN 0851773281 is a typo - other sources claim it has 120 pages, just like ISBN 0851779565. I know of only one "revised edition" AotS volume to have been updated by the author, and that was The 100 Gun Ship Victory by John McKay.

Another "Anatomy of the Ship" question - but this book appears to still be in print and widely available, unlike the USS Sullivans one, so I'm looking to buy a copy.
There appear to be two different editions of the AotS:HMS Belfast book on Amazon.co.uk, one (only available from second-hand sellers) significantly cheaper than the other and titled "Anatomy of the Ship S." According to Amazon, this has 96 pages whilst the more expensive, new book has 120.
Is there any actual difference between the editions? I am very interested in buying this book (as reference for my 1/200 scratchbuilt model) but want to make sure I am getting the right book. The plans of the ship (and its fittings and armament) are the most important part in this respect, so if there is any difference between the two books, are the plans the same?

Apologies if this is a stupid question - I just want to make sure I don't end up buying the wrong book.
