The Titanic Remembered

This is not the definitive history, but it is very enjoyable to read. Cased with tissue-lining, this book would make a great (albeit pricey) gift for the Titanic buff or general reader but is not likely to last intact in circulating library collections.

Farewell, Titanic

The author's works are frequently described as controversial; the reader might wish to approach this work critically. Best for those interested in exploration of Titanic's wreck site.
PREMIUM

Gilded Lives, Fatal Voyage

This is one of those rare books on the subject that provides information both new and relevant, in a scholarly but readable way. Highly recommended to anyone interested in the social history of the early 20th century.

Titanic

An optional purchase, best for readers with a casual, not overly fussy, interest in the subject.

Shadow of the Titanic

The author makes good use of archival and published sources and his own recently conducted interviews. This is a captivating read that begins where most other Titanic books end. (Illustrations not seen.) [See Prepub Alert, 9/22/11.]

A Rare Titanic Family

Related with obvious affection for her great-uncle, the author also gives a good sense of the difficulties in piecing together family histories and how even close relatives might not know the whole story. In addition to Titanic buffs, genealogists and missionary history readers will like this.

Voyagers of the Titanic

Except for a few vexing spots (even after 100 years, some authors still inaccurately state that the Morse code signal SOS is an abbreviation for "save our souls"), this is a well-researched and appealing read. Recommended for those interested in the personal angles of the story. (Illustrations not seen.) [See Prepub Alert, 9/19/11.]

Titanic
