William H. Miller Does it Again,
By A Customer
This review is from: The First Great Ocean Liners in Photographs: 193 Views, 1897-1927 (Paperback)
Can I say enough about William H. Miller's expertice and knowledge? This book, along with the other three in this set, are amazing. With well thought-out linear notes on each ship, and wonderful interior and exterior pictures, this book is, needless to say, the most used in my collection! I particularly enjoy this book because it depicts the era I am most interested in, the turn of the century. It also nicely depicts my favorite ship 'Mauretania', and it gives her the respect and dignity she deserves, along with all of the other ships in this book. I also recommend Picture History of the French Line, Picture History of the Cunard Line, The Great Luxury Liners 1927-1954, Great Cruise Ships and Ocean Liners 1954-1986, Modern Cruise Ships 1965-1990, and last but not least, Pictorial Encyclopedia of Ocean Liners 1860-1994. But don't take my word for it, judge for yourself. But being an Ocean Liner historian, memorabilia collector, and avid reader, I can truthfully can say that William H. Millar can be placed on the high shelf of Ocean Liner Historians, along with Frank O. Braynard, and Robert Ballard. ENJOY!
