Summary: Live the past...
Review: ...through the wonderful pictures in this resource. The book includes photos from beloved ocean liners throughout the 20th century. For those of us too young to experience more of the golden era of ocean travel than the Queen Mary, this is a great way to catch up vicariously.

Summary: They Don't Make 'em Like This No More!!!
Review: If you have grown weary over the glitzy, tacky cruise ships sailing the high seas today, buy this book and step back in time when ships were ships. No neon here, just lots of polished woods and brass, the way God intended. Mr. Miller's commentary complements the stunning interior photographs of most of the great liners and cruise ships of bygone days and up til present time. The NORMANDIE, REX, QUEENS MARY and ELIZABETH, even the infamous, tragic TITANIC. The high point seems to be the 20's and 30's, when Art Deco was the range, and the low point, IMO, the 50's and 60's, with that horrible Scandinavian Modern.If the book has any flaws, it is that it focuses too much on transatlantic liners, and not enough on liners from other routes. Still, it is a must for ocean liner fans. Perhaps Mr. Miller will update this book and include some other liners.

Summary: Impressive collection of photos
Review: Well illustrated with black & white photos illustrating stunning interiors from many ships. The text, though informative, tends to be repetitive and not as extensive as it could be.
