I was looking for another world encyclopedia books ( I already had the submarine book). I am a very big book worm and I love getting myself lost in books.

Gehört auf jeden Fall in die Bibliothek eines Hubschrauberfreaks. Außerdem ist dieses informative Nachschlagewerk äußerst preiswert.

Was better than I thought it would be!
