Army & Navy stores reprint volume

I mentioned that the Army and Navy Stores catalogue I've been scanning is available pretty cheaply in a reprint version. I was rather dismissive because the page count listed on Amazon made it appear that it doesn't include the full index. Since it's cheapish (about a tenner) I ordered a copy anyway. And the verdict...

It's actually very good, and does include the full index; I suspect someone has checked the last page number and given that as the total page count, without realising that there are another 70 pages up front.

Reproduction is pretty good - I'd say about as good as my scans, maybe marginally less detail on some illustrations but good enough for any purpose I can readily imagine.

I haven't done a page by page comparison, but short of that it seems a real bargain at £6.45 plus P&P and up for a good second-hand copy, about 0.75p a page inc. P&P.

Fred T. Jane's naval wargame

Someone told me that Fred T. Jane's naval wargame is on line somewhere, and is in the public domain. It occurs to me that it might be worth investigating for FF XII - I need some naval rules anyway and I'm going to be using some of Jane's illustrations.

Anyone know anything about this?
