Basically an illustrated history, the format is quite small and so the pictures don't get the exposure they deserve. This wasn't improved by the post office's attempt to crumple the book in transit. The accompanying text is a reasonable summary, and a good introduction to the subject, but as I am interested in the workings of the Royal Dockyard, it didn't tell me a great deal that I didn't know already. Ideal stocking filler for anyone with a passing interest in the subject, or Portsmouth history.
