DK eyewitness books are some of the greatest non-fiction books around. The distinctive white background and high-quality photography gives this book an edge over any other nonfiction picture book. And -- these pictures are real! They're beautiful photos of all things related to shipwrecks, accompanied by informative captions and text.

Learn about sunken treasure, lighthouses, ships, rescues-at-sea, and many other shipwreck-related topics (all augmented by museum-like photos).

If you know someone (young or old) who is fascinated shipwrecks, then you must introduce them to this book! It's a visual crash course in shipwrecks, and it's excellent!

I'm a teacher and I find the Eyewitness books highly educational. I like the way the concepts are presented in a form without backgrounds. This gives clear facts to the reader without over taxing the attention span. The books are highly informative, presenting difficult concepts in comprehendable chunks that stimulate interest. I have almost the whole collection for my own children and they LOVE them!

The book arrived on time, was just as it was described, and was a seamless transaction. If anything, the book was nicer than I expected since it was used.
