I got the book today: many nice photos, good drawings (sometimes even the torpedo boats on board the cruisers are drawn to a larger scale) - but unfortunately only very few drawings of the masted cruisers.

Gradually evolving from sailing frigates, the first modern cruiser is not easy to define, but this book starts with the earliest steam paddle warships, covers the evolution of screw-driven frigates, corvettes and sloops, and then the succeeding iron, composite and steel-hulled classes down to the last armoured cruisers.
This fills a huge gap in the technical histories of Royal Navy warships. For me it is the most anticipated book in years.
