Titanic the Ship Magnificent - Slipcase: Volumes One and Two

by Bruce Beveridge, Scott Andrews, Steve Hall

The largest, most luxurious ship in the world, wrecked on her maiden voyage after colliding with an iceberg in mid-Atlantic, has become the stuff of legends. While everyone knows the new White Star liner was glamorous and full of millionaires when she sank, few appreciate just how luxurious she was. Even in third class, the accommodation was better than in first class on many older ships. From cobalt blue Spode china and Elkington plate silverware in the a-la-carte restaurant to the design of the boilers and fixtures and fittings onboard the world's most luxurious vessel, they tell the story of a liner built at the peak of the race between the British, French, and Germans to build bigger and better ships.

I bought this in September and for some reason, only the second volume has shown up. The first volume is definitely for people interested in engineering and manufacturing. The second volume is more about the outfitting and design.

[Jason]

great book for people who love to read about the creation and design of the titanic

Disappointing and predictable. A lame excuse to promote supremacy.

I think this one is going to take some time
