The subtitle "A study in photographs" is accurate. The only text in the book, other than captions, is in the annoyingly titled "forward"*.
The photos of the armored cars will have to be checked by someone else as I don't know whether the captions there are correct or not. The captions in the main part of the book are fairly good. Some are definitely incorrect (2 examples: p. 29 photo B is of the rear end of Schnuck, not "an A7V female"; p.46 photo C is of the rear of 507 and 504(?), not "Female" tanks). All the British tanks are referred to as Mk IV's when there are some clearly identifiable Mk II's (usually tank 799) and a Mk I (tank 548, D13). This is pretty much a minor quibble as some of the photos of the A7V are new to me, including the A7V in the train loading accident (possibility for a diorama). All in all, if the price is good, I would recommend getting the book, especially if you are starting out in WW1 German armour or need more photographic references. I received this as a birthday present so I can't say whether it was well priced.
* Note to any editors or others in the printing industry that may be reading this: IT'S A B****Y FOREWORD, not forward. Forward is a direction; foreword is what precedes (fore) the main text. It may also be called a prologue. While I'm at it, an AFTERWORD is what the section of the book is called that comes after the main text. Epilogue is also acceptable.
