The Titanic Book Site.Com Book Archives.
A descriptive and (mostly) objective history of books in the English language on the most infamous maritime disaster of all time.
Dedication:
To all those individuals whose passion for the subject keeps the story of the Titanic alive, this site is dedicated to you.
Introduction:
On a frigid, calm night in April of 1912 a ship met an iceberg in the middle of the north Atlantic. A few hours later, two thirds of the human souls, a handful of dogs and a ship's cat were all dead. The story of what happened that fateful night has become the stuff of legend. The ocean liner Titanic, considered virtually unsinkable by the conventional wisdom of the day, sank in under three hours. The event stunned the world in 1912, and remains the most infamous maritime disaster of all time. It is the shipwreck of all shipwrecks. What draws us to the Titanic disaster over and above any other? Many people have their own theories, but the truth is either you 'get' the Titanic bug or you don't. And if you've got it, you know it.
If you are fascinated by this event, one of the very best collectibles on the subject is books. Not only are they a heck of a lot more available than most other kinds of Titanic collectibles, but (for the most part) they are a lot more reasonably priced, too. If you want to learn more about collecting books on Titanic, you have come to the right place.
My main interest, and thus the focus of this site, is nonfiction titles. Still you will find extensive listings for novels, children's books, etc.

The State of the Site Address.
For the past two years, personal matters have permitted me less and less time to keep the site updated. Unfortunately, it has now become such that I really cannot devote any further time to the site any longer. I considered taking the site down, but after discussing this with a group of friends, I have decided to leave what is here available as a static site.

| Whether your interest began relatively recently with James Cameron and his blockbuster film, or started years ago with Walter Lord and his epic book A Night to Remember, you will find a tremendous wealth of information about the hundreds of books on this ever intriguing subject.
The primary purpose of this site is an attempt at an exhaustively complete bibliography of every book ever printed on the subject. As of our fourth anniversary in 2004, there are 850 individual titles. When you add in the various reprints and alternate editions, the number of entries jumps to well over 1,000. I make no claim to have listed every Titanic related book ever printed, but that is my ultimate goal. The site contains complete alphabetic listings both by author and by title. Another very useful feature of this site is the extensive Subject Bibliographies which list books under 35 subjects ranging from Alternate Theories to Wireless. Besides the Subject Index and Title Index there is even an index for illustrators.
