Titanic: An Illustrated History

I got a used hardcover, I didn’t realize I had bought it used but I also didn’t care because it was quite well priced. I have to say that even though it came “used”, the previous owner took very good care of it to which it well deserved considering how magnificent this book is. I have been glued to the pages and the wonders they hold. The three greatest Titanic Historians, scientists, and artists wrote this book collectively and I have to say that this is the best collection of ideas, art, and history one could possibly have if the Titanic, The Ship of Dreams.

A richly detailed book with tons of pictures, drawings, diagrams, & information. I've bought this book twice bc it's that good. I've yet to discover any book on Titanic that comes close to this beautiful book.

I've always been intrigued by the amazing machines that mankind has created - the Titanic is no exception to this. Of course, its true legacy remains as the largest and most luxurious ship of its time that ultimately could not complete its maiden voyage. Because this great ship sank before it had a chance to be properly documented, books like this are the best way I've found to remember her - through the gathering of the limited photos actually taken, together with a description of her relatively short history as compiled by Donald Lynch, and complimented by the art work by Ken Marschall - whose artwork exceeds in detail and realism any photos that *might* have been taken during that time period!

My 9 year old son is obsessed with all things Titanic. This is a great book, well written, and with great photos (which is his greatest part). The history and passengers and crew all come alive in this great illustrated book. It is a large book filled with photos and history we hadn't seen before. We are happy with this purchase.

This book is wonderful; the illustrations are terrific and the stories are very interesting and intriguing. We love this book and would recommend it to anyone.

The movie Titanic was based on this book, that's where James Cameron got his inspiration and the attention to detail in the movie. Great historical information with lots of pictures and unique stories not told in the movie.

Wonderful photos and drawings that help give a very good history of the Titanic. I learned many things I didn't know before and got a better understanding of the ship and it's ill fated passengers.

This is a visual representation of the “life” of the Titanic. The pictures and representations are a great companion piece to A Night to Remember or On A Sea Of Glass.

I'm about to embark on building a huge model of the Titanic and this book was not only a bargain but is a wonderful reference book. (I'd used a friends copy before so I knew exactly what to expect.) Having said that I was prepared to pay the usual price, £30, but got this £3. And that included the postage! Mint condition and I'm very pleased with it.

The quality condition of the book made this a steal at the price

Really good quality second hand book, very pleased. Would recommend seller

Beautifully illustrated and absolutely engrossing from beginning to end. An excellent book.
