Love the detailing and careful thought put into showing historical warships and how their designs translated to the girls of Kancolle. I bought two copies of the book by fluke, but found that it was worth having a second copy to share to friends when looking at doing scale modelling of warships and craft from the era.

It's nice to see the origins of some of the charming shipgirls of Kancolle in an accessible and highly visual format. The key details should be clear to those with or without the ability to read Japanese!
