3.0 out of 5 stars Would have worked better with a smaller page size, February 4, 2010

This review is from: Soviet Aircraft and Aviation 1917-1941 (Hardcover)
While as with most Putnam books, there is a wealth of information that has never before been published in the West, the larger page format that Putnam adopted for its later books simply does not work well here.

Putnam's earlier books, with their 8-3/4 x 5-3/4 page size, were much better at presenting the data in "encyclopedic" books like this one; the larger page size should be reserved for books with a running narrative. At the very least, the three-column-per-page format should be replaced with one or two columns.

I hope that, if someone puts the Putnams back in print, that they re-format this book, and similar Putnams with encyclopedic listings of aircraft, in the 8-3/4 x 5-3/4 page size, which would make this book much more pleasant to use!
