Summary: Go beyond the movie "Titanic"
Review: I gave this book and the Volume 2 companion to my husband for his birthday and he hasn't put them down since. These books may not be for those who have merely leaped onto the romantic bandwagon of the Titanic movie. These are for people who want to learn about the materials the floors were tiled with and what went into making the boilers. If you're into authentic details, these are wonderful books.
Rating:
Summary: Extremely well researched and presented.
Review: This is and excellent book for those who are interested in the great ocean liners of the early twentieth century. It features the original articles from the trade magazine "The Shipbuilder" with beautiful photos and detailed engineering drawings of great ships like the Olympic, Titanic, Mauretania, Lusitana and many others. It's all done on high quality acid-free paper making it a long term reference book. It's a very expensive book, but a must for any maritime enthusiast.

Summary: Outstanding book
Review: This is the short of it... If I had to burn my books to stay alive, this would be the last one I would burn.Mark has done a excellent job in reproducing the original "Shipbuilder" articles. If you are interested in oceanliners from the early 1900s, buy this book.
