A new collection of old pictures
I have been a long time fan of the Devastator so this title piqued my interest. It is fairly well organized but somewhat brief. Many of the pictures have been published before. The Ginter book is much more complete though but also more expensive. I have to give this book only 3 stars and would only recommend it if you are not that interested in the Devastator.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
