The drawings are great in all of them.  Most have several pages, and most are 
in 1/72 scale, but a few are in 1/48.  They are fantastic buys.

You should be able to get these at a local hobby store, and if not, Zenith 
Books has them.  They are about $16.00 each, but some are on sale for about 
$9.00.  I got them at a HalfPrice Books store for about $8.00. 

Happy Modelling
