RMS Queen Mary: Classic Liners

Tons of great photos in here that aren’t found anywhere else – most being from the personal collections of either the author or Commodore G.T. Marr – and are generally from the perspective of passengers or landside viewers of the ship (as opposed to the professionally photographed photos or promo shots that are more commonly seen). That’s not to say the photographs are of an amateur quality! Just that the perspective and style of the photos makes you feel like you’re seeing the ship firsthand as a passenger.The text is outstanding as well. Highly Recommended.

Nice, but I would recommend to buy the printed book not the kindle edition. While one can view the photos on the kindle, or an the app, it's better to view them full-size in the book.

Book was in good shape, but the writing left much to be desired. Information was repeated in a couple of places and the photos were out of date sequence. I would have liked to have the oldest photos first and then newer ones so I could see the progression through the years.

Great primer for pre-visit info.

It's ok

I love the history and photos of this great old liner which was before my time.

I can't say much more about it. Its fairly straight forward and in the usual format for these size of books with smallish photos and a bit of the usual history. There wasn't any reason for me to buy this other than I am an ardent fan and am always hoping to see that photo I've never seen before. I don't really spend much time on the text as its more about the visuals for me. I could give a Vicar's cuss about how many RPMs or torque she put out. She was fast, beautiful, and that is all that matters. I'm no engineer, I'm more of a design person. Enjoy it.

Excellent book, very informative

Not coffee table sized but both well produced and illustrated this gives a great all round picture of the liner. I felt that there were too any pictures showing New York and too few of her other ports but perhaps this is marketing. Good value.

A fantastic account of the history of a great lady of the sea.

Good present for liner addicts.

Very good

I bought this for my father-in-law as he used to work on this ship. It arrived on time and he was well impressed. He loved the book and recognised things from the photographs. It brought back memories of his time onboard. Beautifully set out and well worth the money.
