In the past I found the annual "JP Airline Fleets International" books to be very valuable resources, but the last edition I bought (approx. 3-4 years ago) was full of printing errors (like upside-down pages) and typos. Since that disappointment (and also due in part to the ever-rising cost of the book), I have generally found all the fleet info I need on the internet. However, occasionally I am unable to find data on some obscure smaller carriers, so I am considering buying the latest edition of the JP just so I have an up-to-date desk reference.
Before I shell out the cash, though, I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone has bought a copy. If so, have you found it to be accurate? How was the printing quality? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I also found relevant typos in the last issues (like all 747-200s missing in Northwests fleet, that´s not a minor error!). That why I didn´t buy the book since 2000.

The errors that NA is talking about was in the JP edition two years ago, not the 2004/2005 edition. An additional list that's now included is the Boeing Customer code list eg 21 is PA, 22 is UA, 23 is AA etc.
I haven't found any errors in the current book.

The new edition is pretty good, I think they double checked after the disaster with all the 747 classics missing in the 2002 edition. I also can recommend the CD-rom, because you can search any registration or type in the pdf formatted list.
nobody has ever died from hard work, but why take the risk?
