I bought the new Me163B kit by Meng in 1/32 and still looking for reference material. Does anyone have this book? Is it advisable for detail information?

Yes it is.
Thanks. So I will buy it for the building of the model.

Have you decided yet or do you still want input? I have this book and volume 1...at least I think I do.

..wish I did. Vol 1 always goes for mega-bucks when it occasionally crops up on ebay. Vol II (above) has been reprinted. Author Ransom covered JG 400 in the Osprey Elite series, an excellent 'cheap' alternative
YOU don't have volume one? I always just figured the publishers just sent you copies of all their new books! I'm jealous of like half the books YOU own! Love your blog/website also amigo! And what you do with the eBay photos is a priceless service sir. All the best, Jim

Both of the books are the best I have seen on the Me 163. I could not recommend them both enough.

Yea what Terry said, "Keep ujp" the great job! 
Honestly how I got my Volume 1 was I setup a notify on www.gettextbooks.com for one when listed $100 or below. I was notified of one for $68 bought it and turned out to be both Volumes 1 2.

thanks again gents ! still going strong over two years later, but just now and again I think I'd like to do something else..
I suspect there'd be no end of people you could hand it over to for 6 months, if you needed a break!
Hahaha, I'd volunteer, but all you'd get would be He 219, Ta 152 and Fw 190D stuff!

I know it's too late in the game, but I would recommend this book as modelling reference:

Could be good, but every 'detail' book I've seen by him has loads of errors and guesswork !!!

- totally agree mate. The He 219 book "re-introduced" to a new generation, many fallacies that had been remedied over the last 15-20 years. It was partially redeemed by the images of the NASM a/c (290202 or 290060, depending on your perspective) during restoration, but that's about it.
Franks would be my choice only after exhausting other options and ONLY then for the imagery - the text would be ignored.
I wish Japo would do a Me 163B book - that would be awesome.
Oh boy! And here I was giving it two thumbs up! It seemed very concise.
