I have a copy of this book.
The book consists of many blueprint/engineering drawings of sounding rockets. I was amazed that any of these drawings still existed. The quality of the drawings is not always the best as the originals have not been stored in climate-controlled conditions.
The book is chaptered by company and their products.
There is historical information about people, companies and the individual rockets.
It is very much a labor of love for the author. It makes an excellent addition to my rocket book collection along with all of Peter Alway's books.
I perceive this book as geared more towards the historian and/or scale model builder. If you fit into that catagory then you will like it.
