Great, indepth reviews. Thank you!

Tell me please, does the "American Secret Projects" book deal mostly with paper projects? Like how much is the book dedicated to project that at least got to the mockup stage or prototype?

Geez, now you're going to make me think as well? (You know how much trouble that gets me in around here.) The aircraft that flew get a decent amount of coverage. I'd guess probably around 35-45% of the book.
Mock-up stage probably around 20%. The remaining being paper airplanes.
That may sound excessive but remember, this is Vol I and until the J57 and T56 showed up, there really wasn't much choice in the way of turbine engines beyond the T34 and the J47. I expect Vol II to be a different mix as more bypass engines came on line and the USAF settled into more defined roles as budgets became more austere.

128 pages for this volume. If looking for info with pictures though not a lot of info. The Canadian aircraft book that I got couple of days ago currently going for less than 5 bucks with prime membership and free shipping and handling. It has 72 pages for a new book
