I have read several Pitkin guides before and found them to be short and concise, but providing thorough introductions to a topic. This one fit that bill as well.
The book only has 33 pages, but it is full of information from the history of ocean liners, the development of Titanic, her passengers, her journey, the sinking and the aftermath, including the finding of the wreck, (conspiracy) theories, film versions and a list of Titanic sites and museums. The information is easy to understand, show more but not overly simplified, and although it is so short, it is very detailed. There are also a lot of pictures as well as tables/charts and info boxes. It is a good book for what it is, and I will certainly buy more Pitkin guides on interesting topics in the future should I come across them. show less
