Excellents photos, paper and cover. Regular text,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Weapons of the Modern Marines (Battlegear) (Hardcover)
I read this good book, here in Brazil. This book has excellents photos, paper and cover. The book that I bought has another photo, on cover than this pictured on Amazon site.
Even having so good photos and paper, I must give just four stars for the book, because its text has some mistakes: 1-Page 25 has lies about Colt .45 pistol. 2-Page 33 has mistake about MG-42. 3-Page 42 mistake about the caliber of a sniper rifle. 4-Page 46 mistake about the caliber of M72 LAW. This book writes that M72 Law's calibe is 40 mm, while the right caliber is 66 mm. 5-Page 93 has a mistake about M198 howitzer. 6-Page 94 has a mistake about the source of depleted uranium. Beyond doubt, a military expert will found at least, the double of the numbers of mistakes, than I found. Then, the text is just regular and I must give four stars for this book.
