In addition, each weapon system has a specifications table that lists performance, dimensions, armament, and crew details.

Excellent copy: head of spine has a tiny bit of bumping else the book is as new with NO previous owner's signature/bookplate/highlighting/underlining/notes/stamps. The dj is very lightly rubbed (mostly on back), one short tear at back corner of head of spine (but it has been neatly repaired with NO tape). Otherwise the dj is as new, also, with NO other tears/chips. NOT an ex-library, NOT a book club, NOT a remainder. Fine in Near Fine to Fine dj. Fine/Near Fine to Fine.
