Summary: An extremely high quality book with excellent photographs.
Comment: I was extremely impressed by this book. Note that it is largely a picture book, illustrated exclusively with black and white photographs - but what photographs!! When well done, black and white photgraphs are superior to those in color, and the photos in this book are very, very well done and expertly printed on each page.
What text there is (and it is printed in English, German, and French) is intelligent, and the each photo has an informative caption (also in all 3 languages).
The various Dover picture books by William H. Miller are nice, but I'm afraid they can't hold a candle to this book. This is a very high quality, superior book, and I highly recommend it.

Summary: Outstanding & Rare Photos
Comment: I really enjoyed this book, as it contains a great number of intersting ocean liner photos that I have not seen before. This book has given me many hours of enjoyment looking at the photos.

Summary: Nice Pictures!
Comment: This book may not add a whole lot to the body of knowledge about the great liners, but it is an enjoyable and impressive collection of pictures running from the beginning of the century to the QE2. Some of these pictures I know I have seen before, but many of them were new to me. I thought there were some gaps in the coverage, particularly in the early years of the century, but the coverage evened out somewhat for the post-World War II era. This is not the book for you if you are looking for in-depth coverage: other than a two-page introduction to each of the chapters and captions for the photographs, there is no text. But if you like the coffee-table book format of a large, attractive book filled with compelling pictures, this is will be a good choice. Altogether I found this book a good way to pass a couple of evenings surrounded by images of these beautiful ships.
