How many TItanic books do you have?

Thought I was obsessed with 7. Think I have some catching up to do...:/

Haven't purchased one for a while, as they seemed to just be a rehash of what's already out. But do fossic through old book stores and by default will always check the areas they may be.

I guess I have around 100. The four prime jewels of my collection. Two of the books are danish; a book for children and a danish version of Archibald Gracie. The two english books and the book for children are first editions.

I've added one more since my last post...making 8...(I do have other interests you know... ). I wonder if anyone could make a recommendation. I really like to read about the surviving passengers and how their lives panned out. Trouble is, the books I have (not many) that are about survivors lives after the event are mostly about the 1st or 2nd class passengers, you know...the rich ones. I'd love to read about some of the 3rd class/steerage folk and how their lives turned out afterwards. Is there such a book?

While not specializing in that subject, Judith Geller's Titanic: Women and Children First and Donald Hyslop et al's Titanic Voices: Memories From the Fateful Voyage touch upon the "afterlife" of some survivors.

Hi Arun,

I have Titanic Voices. This was the first book I ever bought about the Titanic so it's a favourite. I've seen Women and Children First as an Amazon recommendation so I might try that anyway. Thanks.

I have just ordered William Russo's Tales Of A Titanic Family. It is about life and times of Titanic victims Percival & Richard White.

I had not either, till earlier today. Apparently. William Russo is a bit of a recluse, does not publicize his work much and writes only to a select readership. To me, that makes it even more interesting, but the primary reason is that the Whites are my favourite passengers on the Titanic.

There is an interesting article here on ET about them. The highest example life can furnish
