Some years back the “Haynes Owners Manuals” publishing company branched out into books about airplanes and NASA missions and Death Stars. All kinds of stuff, normally running in the twenty to thirty dollar range. Some very clearly fluff, some quite interesting. There are a few I’ve looked at, and having once looked at them, Amazon feels the need to keep reminding me “hey… hey… lookit this…”

Haynes published a book on the WWII-era British aircraft the Westland “Lysander.” While I’m interested, I don’t think I’ll buy it. See if you can guess why:

Books are worth having. Consequently, I have from time to time spent insane and unwise sums of money to procure a book that I really wanted. This… is not that time.
