That's amazing! The book is a small hardback titled "The Observer's Book of Ships", by Frank E. Dodman. It measures about 3 1/2" x 5 3/4" x 3/4". Just the right size to carry in a pocket. Very well made. Full of facts, photos, charts, color plates, etc. This book is going to provide many hours of interesting reading. And all for less than 60 cents? Damn!
