Message: [QUOTE="Inger Sheil, post: 146604, member: 139659"] There are some brilliant and much anticipated upcoming titles in this field - Mark Chirnside's [i]The Olympic Class Ships: Olympic, Titanic & Britannic[/i] and [i]RMS Olympic: Titanic's Sister[/i] will surely be on any list (Mark, are you going to be signing copies at upcoming BTS events? I'd love to sit in on a chat between you and Simon!). A more specialised title will be Parks Stephenson's work on the wireless for the [i]Olympic Class[/i] - this promises to be a phenomenal piece of research, and given the depth of Parks' work on the subject will enjoy popularity far beyond the niche that one would usually associate with such a specific topic. [i]Titanic & Her Sisters Olympic & Britannic[/i] is a real curate's egg of a book - the wealth of images is overwhelming, and even some very familiar ones receive a new injection of interest through the quality of some of the reproductions. However, jarring errors (particularly in captioning) are common enough to be rather distracting. I haven't leafed through it in a while - must have another look. [/QUOTE]
