Good information

Having not known a lot about ship modeling before reading this book, I was wiser after reading it.

Scratch ship modeling

Ship Modeling from Scratch: Tips and Techniques for Building Without Kits A very good supplemental book for building a model ship from scratch. It has detailed suggestions that aren't found in many other books or articles. Edw. Leaf knows his stuff and covers all major topics in modeling w/o a kit. He does provide "tips and techniques" as the subtitle says, just not quite enough to start scratch building w/o several other sources that go into more depth in important topics/skills.

Excellent beginners book

I am new to scratch boat building and this is a basic book about it. It has many helpful hints that are very usefull. It is a beginners book. Easy to read and understand. There are a lot of forums on the NET that describe in detail on how to scratch-build, but I was looking for something basic. An excellent book.
