"James Cameron's Titanic" has a little something for all different sets of movie fans. There's an incredible amount of photos and captures from the movie which will no doubt be scanned and posted on the net by hundreds of the movie's teenage fans (and those sites DO exist), while the way in which the making of the film is presented in words and behind-the-scenes photographs will surely please film students and buffs. The detail payed to the execution of the material is as meticulous and praise-worthy as the movie itself. This is a must-have for any fan of the movie, offering more than you could ask for for a movie that gives you everything you want from it.

To everyone sending in countless reviews raving about Titanic, please don't talk about THE MOVIE and obsessing with LEO DICAPRIO, just focus on the book! Everyone's getting so cynical and hyper from seeing Titanic one too many times!

Anyways, James Cameron's Titanic is a good source for intriguing look at the process in the making of the biggest and most ambitious epic in decades. While sheet-wide "making of" pictures are a little overblown, it gets a dose of fascination to witness how Titanic was filmed under extreme circumstances. Most of the texts are well-written with the quotes from the man himself, James Cameron. However, these are not common in a couple hundreds of pages, which may or may not be satisfying. For more complete insights and details about filming the footages of the Titanic and on the set and with the filmmaker discussing the complications of completing the exhausting process, just go buy "Titanic and the Making of James Cameron". It's a better read than Ed March book itself, although not recommended for those who are too illiterate or just plain lazy to read the literally complex book in one sitting. Other than that, James Cameron's Titanic is a great book to start with, especially for pre-teen fans.

As a filmmaker, this book provided me with great insights on the making of one of the most seen films of all times. It's awesome for filmmakers as well as regular audience. It will blow you away. You will see the film under a different light.

After seeing the film I just had to read the book as well. Just reading about the sheer amount of work that went into making this film is incrediable. My sister and I were really intetested in the period of history and the social class, after reading this book it gave a tremendous insight into the life and times of the people aboard the ship. I would highly recomend this book to anyone who loved the film, as it is a really great read, and the pictures and sketches of costumes etc. are really great!

If you loved the beautiful film, you'll love this! The pictures are beautiful and it makes you appreciate the talent even more. Simply amazing!

Great book for the titanic enthusiasts!!!!! If you loved the movie, you will enjoy this book.

This book is absolutely beautiful! The photography is amazing and the book is very informative as well. A must for any fan of this classic film.

This book has excellent photography of many scenes from the movie. It explains all the measures of making the movie from costumes to digital effects. It shows every character and their part in the film. The shots of the replica of the Titanic are very nice. It tells you how they built and designed the ship. It's like the Behind the Scenes of Titanic except it's in a book and you don't have to tape it. I enjoyed reading about how they made the computer extras. They look very real. I recommend this book to any Titanic fan or photographer.

I originally got this book for the pictures of the costumes, which were so beautiful! The book was an interesting look behind the workings of the making of the movie. Enjoyable, but not enough pictures of the costumes!

This is a MUST have for any Titanic collector. I waited for about 9 or so years for this book and I am so extatic that I finally have it!!
