I have some many books, beautiful books, not sure if there are even some out there any more that I don't have. I really need to make a list one day (for insurance purposes) as it's taken me a life time to collect them. I even have the 3 national geographics where the Titanic was featured, the oldest one being from the early 80's. I think that's what really got my obsession going, seeing the "centerfold" of the wreck after it was first discovered...yeah, not a normal kid, I know  |

I have around 20 books, my favourite one being 'Destination Disaster'.
One very interesting one is called 'Hands off the Titanic'.
This is basically a handwriting analysis from figures such as Bruce Ismay and Frederick Fleet.
Their handwriting and signatures changed drastically after the sinking.

Ok, so that's two books I don't have...lol
I think it's alot easier for you Paul to come accross this kinda stuff because of where you live. It's not popular here in Canada, and we only started getting alot of stuff when Mr. Cameron's film became a big hit, but now of course it's dwindled again.

That book is called Futility, it is the subject of another thread in this board  |

Does anyone have the 1912 additions "Sinking of the Titanic" that were sold door to door for a dollar back then?
A good friend of mine bought me two copies of them, one at a yard sale and another in a bookstore.
I really don't think they are worth much, but I really treasure them!
