Anyone else willing to admit they like this book? It's full of errors, the charts aren't to scale, and some of the comparisons are downright bizarre, but it's well illustrated and a FUN book to read. It's one of my go-to books when I'm waiting for something and only have 10 minutes. |

Never heard of it but it sounds like a waste of time. |

If perfect details are more important to you than overall enjoyment, that's probably true. It does arrange and compare weapons in a way I've never seen elsewhere. |

Yeah a book "full of errors" is not one that is going to give me as much overall enjoyment as overall frustration. To ach his own. |

Maybe he's saying that the book contains useful insights, even though some of the detail is off? So he reads the book for the insights. MH |

"Insights" is close. Maybe "arrangement" is a better description of what attracts me to this book. It provides a framework that encourages further research, hence the fact that I'm not overly put off by the errors. The reason I posted was to see if anyone else overlooked the errors (and coffee table style) and appreciated the book. |
