I didn't buy the book, but there is a review with a short video here:
A Development and Operational History of the B-1 Bomber
This superbly researched and illustrated book traces the BONE’s long development and operational history in fascinating detail.www.scalemodellingnow.com
From that I got the impression that it looks like a coffee table book, which is not really what I am looking for.
