Beginner's Guide to Building Ships in Bottles Paperback – May 7, 2007

Pleased from beginning to final page. Great layout of instructions n illustrations. Follow up with books listing parts n details such that you can memorize as you construct your ships in bottles.

This is a subject that has fascinated me for some time now. I spend a lot of time on the road now and need a hobby that does not take up much room in the vehicle. I look forward to learning this hobby and displaying my results at home. This book is very helpful for the first time hobbyist.

Makes it sound so easy. Clear instructions for even the beginner to understand, thanks to the glossary of terms. And tips and techniques that are easy to understand and replicate.

Unfortunately, this book does not bring anything new to the literature on ships in bottles. Yes, one can build a relatively simple SIB with the information provided in this small book, and that may be enough for some folks. My recommendation for a good introduction to building your first SIB would be "Ships in Bottles" by Guy DeMarco.

Given as a gag gift, but it turns out its aimed at people that already have a fully wood-working shop. I suppose, if you had a wood-shop with a lathe, this would be a place to start.

Do not buy the Kindle Edition of this book - the figures have not been reproduced in this edition. This is sort of important when figures such as "Steps in Creating the Hull" (Figure 4.1) do not appear in the book.

I did not receive this book. I actually forgot I ordered it, and was confused about a three-page comic book that was mysteriously included in an order. I thought it was a free sample trying to entice me to buy more comic books by that creator...after receiving the request to provide a review, I now realize that I did order this book, and probably got the obscure comic book instead.So this book is probably quite good, but I wouldn't know.

A nice introduction to the hobby. I have followed Sheridan's plans and constructed the models as he lays them out.There is nothing new in this book for experienced modelers, but beginners will find a straightforward introduction.

Good book well written pity that the pictures are not In colour very informative would.recommend it to.a.beginner in this hobby.

De todos los libros que manejan es el mas caro y tiene tan solo 58 paginas ni siquiera tamaño carta, mas que libro parece un folleto que describe de manera muy superficial este gran arte. Las ilustraciones de la portada son solo ilustrativas, los proyectos que contiene ni remotamente se acercan al contenido.
