I really would like to own all the early "Jane's Fighting Ships"

Actually, they were called "Jane's All the World's Fighting Ships", but let's not be picky. I have the 1898 reprint and a REAL (former Brooklyn Navy Yard copy) 1903 volume. I was positioning myself to get 1899 and 1904 copies, when all that got swept away by the "economic downturn". I had seen the 1904 volume in 1966, but the University of Michigan library did not take care of it. It essentially ended up as dust (they didn't take care of the acid paper problem).
