The age range of 9-12 for this book is too narrow. It is a favorite among ALL of our family members! With a book store gift card in hand, our newly-turned five-year-old picked this book himself above all others to bring home... and it has remained a favorite of his a year and a half later. Mom and Dad even enjoy pouring over this book with him WHENEVER he asks, and we have all learned a lot. Highly recommend this book to people of all ages!

We absolutely love this book and so glad it is in our home library. It is on our coffee table and continually poured over. I think this book will be timeless in this family. We love the detail, the layout, the insight and depth it gives on a topic in such an approachable way. Beautifully illustrated and presented. I think it deserves more than just 5 points. It is a winner.

Just received this book and to my surprise and delight it turns out this book contains in it's entirety the Man-of-War and Castle books. Of all the Biesty books here on Amazon, I believe this is probably the best deal, in that it has the most pages. If you're not familiar with Biesty's work, this is the place to start

I recently borrowed this book from the local library and it made its rounds to all family members. I went looking for it several times and found it next to someones bed every time! It's a fascinating book for people of all ages! This book is now on my wish list for gift giving.

This book is great for a person with a curious mind. I ordered this book for my daughter, but my little grandson, who is 4 years old spends hours studying these cool cross - sections. He will be well educated! Thanks you.

This is the best-beloved book in our house. Our scientific-minded 5 year-old loves the body parts, my engineer/husband loves the machines and my humanities-trained mind loves the historical diagrams of castles and galleons. Don't buy one copy- buy two for when the first is read to disintegration.
