Japanese Warships of World War II by Anthony J. Watts, publ by 
Doubleday in 1966, this is 1970 reprint from England.  Hardback, digest 
size, a chapter each on Capital Ships, Carriers, Cruisers, Destroyers, 
Torpedo Boats, Submarines, Escorts, Minelayers, Minesweepers, Gunboats, 
Patrol Boats, "Coastal Forces", Landing Craft,  and Auxiliaries; pus a 
chart of the combined fleet as of 7 Dec '41, and losses during WW2.

Red cover; spine separated and covered in 'scotch' tape, but otherwise 
nice.  Gazillions of photographs, line drawings, and charts.  Some 
photos are official USN of the ships being sunk, or after capture; most 
appear to be "Imperial War Ministry", i.e., official Japanese gov'ment 
photos.

So what's this thing worth?  I find it only of academic interest ...
