Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forget the spotted owl or the Vancouver Island marmot; there is an elusive specimen out there that is trickier to find and more worthy of the effort-The Ideal Man.Small enough to fit in a handbag, but sufficiently comprehensive to be invaluable when analyzing his appearance, habitat, feeding habits, job, mating techniques and behaviour patterns, The Spotter's Guide to the Male Species shows women how to pinpoint a man's good and bad aspects within seconds. The book has a casebound hardcover with foil stamping-reminiscent of a diminutive, old-fashioned reference book. Written in a charming (but snarky) British tone, the text is laugh-out-loud funny while remaining highbrow and authoritative. The Spotter's Guide to the Male Species is an essential reference for the avid or amateur male-watcher.

This book was released on 2016-11-30 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “One neat book full of markings for British Shermans. It will greatly appeal to both modelers and AFV enthusiasts and historians.”—AMPS Indianapolis With production in excess of 55,000, the Sherman tank was eventually in service with most Allied armies of the Second World War and by the time of the Normandy landings was the mainstay of Britain’s armored battalions. In his second book in the TankCraft series, Dennis Oliver uses wartime photos and extensively researched, exquisitely presented color illustrations to cover the Sherman tanks used by the units of the Royal Armoured Corps and the Royal Marines during the fighting in northern France. As with all the books in the TankCraft series, a large part of this work showcases available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales. Technical details as well as modifications introduced during production and in the field are also explained as is the complex system of markings employed by British armored regiments. This book will give the modeler all the information and knowledge required to recreate an authentic miniature representation of the tanks that fought from the beaches of Normandy, through the battles for Caen and on to killing fields of Falaise. “Provides a clear overview of the Sherman tank in British service during the Normandy Campaign. This will appeal to anyone with an interest in armoured warfare and the period covered. Much Recommended.”—Firetrench “A good-value reference for any Sherman fan, but particularly those new to the subject and who favour ‘Blighty’s’ armour.”—Airfix Model World
