I want to say there are 10-15 ships, and they all have deckplans (bonus).
While I don't think they're that remarkable, many of them have the old SJ
look at feel.

Not a problem.  Just trying to do my part.

Also, one of the authors had some comments on the book, which you can find
at:

He goes by Maelfactor there.  One of the interesting things he said was
that they would be taking some SJ ships, and coming up with a PDF with
conversions to their system.  I'd be interested to see that, although I'm
surprised they're doing that due to copyright issues.  Then again, Bastion
Press has some SJ materials by their Airships book on their site,
specifically with the SJ name.

All for now.
