While not a very big book at just 143 pages this is one of the nicer Titanic books I've seen. Dedicated to both those who died during the sinking and those who died September 11, 2001 (while the film project was underway)the fist chapter gives a quick but detailed history of the Titanic folowed by several chapters devoted to the crew's exploration and filming of the shipwreck and it's aftermath.
I really liked the photos of the wreck as it is now, especially when compared with similar period photos, and the computer graphic reconstructions were amazing. Many of the photographs seemed very familiar, I was surprised to see so many of things that had somehow survive breaking and kind o depressed to see the signs of collapse that the wreck is now going through.
I sure wish I could've seen the movie, hope it comes out on video soon and I'd like to see much more work of this type doen before it's too late.

What the heck is up with this book jacket?
So the book is fine I guess, but I have no freaking idea what the hell is up with the book jacket (it looks so ghetto) First if you look at the pictures it looks like the jacket itself is too small for the book. So it appears a book jacket extension was made with white paper and taped (yes taped) to the book jacket. Do you remember when we would have to cover our text books in grammar school? It’s kinda like this only crappier because you paid for it. If you look at the cover you can see the waves in the book jacket from this crappy job trying to fix it. The book came wrapped in plastic so I’m admittedly puzzled how a hard cover book could look so..crappy.
