Thanks for the reply! I got the message you sent me through my blog too. Your book sounds great! Would love to read it. I now have "Missing in Time" on my Titanic booklist!

Have linked to your Titanic necklace competition, too.

A Night To Remember
The Night Lives On

Those are my all time favorites and the ones I read over and over again. I also like the childrens book Polar The Titanic Bear and Voyagers of the Titanic by Richard Davenport-Hines.

I enjoyed Korman's books as well. Here's a list of Titanic books that I recommend:

The Titanic: End of A Dream~Wyn Craig Wade

Titanic : A Survivor's Story ~ Archibald Gracie

Loss of the SS Titanic ~ Lawrence Beesley

The Sinking of the S.S. Titanic ~ John Thayer

Titanic: Fortune and Fate ~ Beverly McMillan

Lost Voices from the Titanic: The Definitive Oral History ~ Nick Barratt

The Titanic Disaster Hearing audiobook is also one of the few audiobooks that I can say I like. It has a large cast of voices.

And if you are interested in crew biographies there is Titanic Captain by Gary Cooper, Titanic and Other Ships by Charles Herbert Lightoller, The Odyssey of C. H. Lightoller by Patrick Stenson, Titanic Hero by Arthur Henry Rostron, Titanic Survivor by Violet Jessop. There is also the recently released Titanic Valour by Inger Sheil. Haven't read it yet since my copy is still on order.

Oooh! J Burdette, you have so many good books that I haven't read yet myself. I plan to continue reading some Titanic books throughout the year, and all the titles you mentioned here are going on the list. This is just awesome.

 

[Ellie Stevenson]

Here are some I would recommend:

Ballard, R. D. & Sweeney, M. Return to Titanic, National Geographic, 2004.

Ballard, R. D. Titanic: the last great images, Patrick Stephens, 2008.

The Ballard books are great for the images and for information about its discovery.

Eaton, J. P. & Hass, C. A. Titanic: Destination Disaster - the legends and the reality, J H Haynes & Co, 3rd ed. 2011.

I loved this book for the depth of detail about the ship.

Jessop, V. Titanic Survivor: the memoirs of Violet Jessop stewardess, History Press, 2007.

J Burdette also mentions this book. It’s a good read and not just about her Titanic experiences.

Beveridge, B. & others. Titanic: The Ship Magnificent: volume 2: interior design and fitting out, History Press, 2008.

The Beveridge is not for the faint-hearted: it’s very detailed. Having said that, it’s a must-read for information you can’t get elsewhere.

Hope you enjoy them!

I also like the Korman books, as well as Titanic: the most complete story ever told by Matthew Volbrecht. (I found that one in the iBooks Store on my iPad. It's both informative and captivating, even for those who have never heard of Titanic (I pity them!))

Might not be the favourite Titanic book if you're one of those nit-picking experts but personally I loved reading Charles Pellegrino's "Her Name Titanic." Sort of brought the whole story to life. And of course classics like "A Night To Remember" will always be near the top of the list!
