Nuclear Weapons of the United States: An Illustrated History (ISBN 0764300636)

lots of typos:
This book has lots of great photos. It also seems to have a lot of information, but there are so many editing problems that I am reluctant to trust its technical and historical information. While I was reading it, I found typesetting issues, and many spelling errors. I was trying to enjoy it, not proofread it, so I'm sure careful scrutiny would uncover even more. Page 191 has at least nine errors! They include: "thier" instead of "their", "their" instead of "there" (twice!), "ver" instead of "very", and "nublear ant-aircraft" instead of "nuclear anti-aircraft". I really wanted to like this book, but the errors are so numerous and distracting, that I ultimately have to consider it a defective product. If only they had used a spell-checker and a proofreader, this could have been a five-star book. As it stands, it is merely a photo album with some captions might be correct.

Typos -- yes. You will not care. Great book !:
If you look closely, there are indeed typos. I don't think you will notice, however. The photos and captions alone make this book a "must buy." You will not be disappointed.

SO MANY NUKES!:
This book truly taught me a good deal about our nuclear weapons inventory. We have had nuclear tipped artillery, mines and even depth charges! By the end I was ready to learn we had nuclear armed amusement park rides. This book is a must for anyone interested in nuclear weapons and their deployment. I would have liked a discussion of how the military planned to use these devices, as I feel this would have explained more and given the book an added dimension.
