I bought the following books for $66 from amazon: both are part of the AOTS series, however the Yamato one is apparently highly detailed and a very much sought after publication.
The Battleship Yamato by Janusz Skulski in hardcover and
The 100 gun ship Victory by John McKay in hardcover

It may be a while Dave....but at least you know you'll get it, the signalling book sounds interesting, I was a relief signalman here on the railway for years, worked many a signalbox.......Phil

'Mmm'..you never mentioned that one Phil..seems a few of us worked on the railway, me just a humble train guard!! This book is a small book, but it's got everything on signalling, or so it seems to me, very into it!!.....4-8 working weeks is the estimate for my book....Dave

Well that isn't long, considering its the one you wanted with a discount as well.......a little bit of waiting won't hurt.
Yes my friend, my railway career lasted 34 days short of 20 years.....I was a very disenchanted employee at the end, fortunately it came swiftly and allowed me to get on with a career change....Phil
