Titanic: Legacy of the World's Greatest Ocean Liner
Titanic: Legacy of the World's Greatest Ocean Liner by Susan Wels, published by Time-Life Books in 1997. This is a first-edition, second-printing hardcover with its dust jacket. The large-format volume contains 205 pages and measures approximately 26.7 x 25.4 x 1.9 cm, with an approximate weight of 1.25 kg.
Created as the companion volume to the traveling Titanic exhibition, this extensively illustrated history follows the famous liner from her design and construction through the maiden voyage, sinking, discovery of the wreck and subsequent recovery and conservation work. It brings together historical photographs, passenger material, plans, artifacts and underwater imagery. The volume was produced by Tehabi Books in association with the Discovery Channel and includes a foreword by William F. Buckley Jr.
The book appeared on the New York Times bestseller list in 1998 and remains an appealing visual reference for readers interested in the Titanic, maritime history, ocean liners and shipwreck archaeology. Its wide pages and numerous colour and black-and-white illustrations give the photographs and documentary material ample space.
Very Good overall, with light expected handling and shelf wear to the hardcover and dust jacket. A few small brown spots are visible near the inner gutter of the copyright and acknowledgments spread. The representative glossy interior pages shown appear clean, bright and unmarked, with no visible tears. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
