3.0 out of 5 stars The not so complete guide to cessna, February 23, 2006

Dominic (Harrison twp, MI) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Complete Guide to Cessna Aircraft (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

This book has not been updated from previous printings. All the pictures are of poor to average quality and all in black and white. While he does include all the models he does not go into enough detail about them. Would like to see much more info about systems, years built, mods available, radio and nav packages, ect. His comparisons of model availability and current value were based on what was in Trade a Plane on the day he wrote the book. Not very professional.
Bottom line, this book is not for the person shopping for a plane. It is for someone who just wants to thumb through a book about cessnas' for general info.
