Seller's Description:
Marschall, Ken, Paintings. Near Fine in Fair jacket. Book Squarish folio, hardcover, near fine, clean and unmarked with (torn) blue pictorial dj laid in. Introduction by Robert Ballard. An extensively researched, illustrated chronicle of the Titanic presents dozens of paintings and illustrations and offers information on the ship's unsinkability and its demise. You could make a movie just about Second Officer Charles Lightoller, who helped accelerate the lifeboat-launching process, saving lives; stepped off the ship's bridge into the Atlantic; was sucked down into a ventilator taking in water, vainly swimming against its suction; and then got expelled by a blast of air, like a human cannonball in a circus, and landed next to a lifeboat that had been knocked 20 feet clear of the sinking ship's deadly whirlpool by a huge ship's funnel that crashed into the waves nearby. Lightoller was marvelously clever in his courtroom interrogation by an attorney determined to maneuver him into admitting blame for the disaster. 227 pp. including index.
More for someone just getting into the Titanic story.
Still, pretty nice.

A fantastic book, jam packed full of amazing photographs and extremely intersting facts. I bought it for my 8 year old and he's worn out the pages. Well recommended.
