Just noticed that Haynes has published some preview pics on their website for their upcoming HMS Dreadnought manual. Not really impressed. A photo of the stern was described as show the stem and forecastle, the ship is described as having two boiler rooms and one engine room (there was actually three boiler rooms and two engine rooms), and the dynamo rooms are described as being "above the boiler rooms" (they were actually abreast the working spaces for A and Y turrets).
Haynes can be frustrating. Their good books are really good. But their mediocre books are incredibly sloppy and lacking in real substance. I might buy the Dreadnought manual for the pretty pictures, but I'll wait for the price to go down.
