5.0 out of 5 stars What a Great Gift!, January 13, 2008

By 

Samuel Clemens "General Manager" (Badger Creek Montana) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Titanic (Hardcover)

For anyone that is a Titanic fan, such as is my 10 yr. old daughter, this book is a real treasure! It includes "real" menus, tickets and newspaper clippings... and of course the huge popup ship! She has spent hours poring over all of the information and has set it up as a permanant display in her room. Definately a winner!

1.0 out of 5 stars MAKE SURE YOU BUY THIS FROM AMAZON.COM, December 30, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Titanic (Hardcover)

Frequently, I will buy from the "new and used" vendors featured under amazon's price. I did so on this purchase and ended up unsatisfied. The book I received looked the same on the cover but did not have any pop-up in it! I can't guarantee the one from Amazon does, but it sounds like it from the other reviews - but my attempt to save a couple bucks ended up ruining my plans for a 5-yr old's present!
