The Birth of the Titanic

My husband purchased the book from one of your vendors. He is employed by Premier Exhibitions, the Titanic archives. He reads all he can find on the ship and the sinking. He saw this and ordered one for himself. He was just amazed at the quality of the photos and would recommend it to anyone interested in the Titanic. The vendor who supplied the book proveded excellent, timely service. We would use the vendor again.
