    Lovely Book
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2023*

I was really looking forward to receiving this book in time for my brother's birthday.  He is obsessed with the SS United States.  The book arrived very quickly which I appreciated and was packaged nicely.

How much outside guidance and help were furnished by whom?  The real reason for the extra help.

    the excellent print on the dust jacket emphasizes potential for quality ...
  

*by P***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2014*

I disagree with the prior reviewers of this book. If I had been able to do a pre-purchase review, I would not have purchased it. I have been enthralled by ships since I first set foot on the Queen Mary in 1951 at age 4 during a family  bon voyage party. I have studied the history extensively...  and my library on ships contains well over 400 titles.  The Amazon promo paragraph  about Mr. Maxtone-Graham and his book uses the word "Arguably"  with following superlatives; further, the excellent print on the dust jacket emphasizes potential for quality to come when the cover was opened. I was sincerely disappointed.First, the promo,  concerning the book's,  content,  places  the "color illustrations"  in the over 200 range. After scanning  the book several times I could not reach that total. Further, I found no color exterior "photographs" taken during the ship's active period (the 1950s thru the 1960s). During that period, admittedly,  the world of photography was in transition from predominantly black and white  to color (best in seen in Kodachrome). Why is this important ?  I saw the ship several times close up during that period -- at the pier and in the harbor. The most lasting memories during that period were the vivid colors, the massive red, white, and blue funnels,  and the consistent pristine condition of the ship. Black and white does not do justice to the ship. A new book (using color words in its title)  listed at a $75 price should have had a wealth of color pictures in order to support that (and future historical )  value in my opinion. In total  I found only a few interior shots and promo material from that period in color. So, you say, the color exterior photos probably don't exist. In response, I direct  your attention to author Andrew Britton's 2012 book on  the SS United States  with a wealth of exterior color photos. His chronological ordering needs some help --- but is forgiven due the number of great excellent  photos presented. I just ordered a second copy of his book.The word "articulate" would also seem to cover the accuracy of the labeling of picture content. In my opinion, there are a number of  picture labeling flaws. One example I believe  appears on pages 140 and 141 (labeled on page 139) . While there is in existence a picture of the USS Enterprise and the SS United States  side by side in the Norfolk docks, this is not the one. And, yes, the Enterprise did go in for refueling  in October 1964.  However, I am not certain about the date of this photo which appears to be of  the USS America, still under construction. (Mr. Maxtone-Graham --- please observe the name banner on the stern of the carrier)  Regardless, the picture is not as represented  --- there are others; too many of them in my opinion for an author of Mr. Maxtone-Graham's purported reputation.  Another item -- noted in the author's book "Normandie" - appears on page 53. In my opinion, this is not a picture of  "T6" as represented --- rather it is the "France" (circa 1960s) while it was under construction; prelaunch. Look at the hull (welded vs predominantly riveted on the Normandie)  and the anchor pocket configuration.There are a number of other books on the SS United States written by knowledgeable authors -- Frank O. Braynard, William H. Miller, and others;  and now Andrew Britton.My thought .... if you are writing an expensive book for a knowledgeable audience,  and it is designed to compete with prior writings,  it must have something  new to emphasize.This was a big disappointment to me. In my opinion, one of the best points was the dust jacket, but unfortunately, mine  was damaged when the book arrived.
