Review of Atlantic Liners in TIS' quarterly journal Voyage, No. 56.

"I received your book yesterday, and I have already read it (I could not put it down...) It is by far the best book on the Atlantic Trio of Trio's I have read. The pictures were great, and so many I have never seen before... I should also add that my wife, who does not usually have any interest in ships, has since read it, and was very impressed... [The book] was really awesome." - T. Y. "My copy arrived today. It is absolutely worth the price. The phrase that comes to mind - usually abused by enthusiastic publishers, but quite accurate in this case - is 'lavishly illustrated.' There are more photographs in this book than any other book I can think of on the same subject, excepting straightforward photograph books. Most histories of this type have a meager sprinkling of photographs throughout, but Kent's book is happily an exception. I have yet to read it in depth, but in skimming through it I see it will be a pleasure to read. Nice to have a book that covers the Mary, the Lucy, and the other big names side-by-side, without neglecting any detail for each individual ship. "My only disappointment is that it isn't available in hardcover, because if it was I'd buy another copy in a minute. "Congratulations... on a job well done!" - A. B. "Received the book yesterday and started reading immediately. The combination of well written, concise and informative sections (yet, not overly wordy) and all the photos makes this a must have book. It is a quick and interesting read. Fantastic work Kent!" - J. D. "...The book arrived yesterday, safely and as discribed. It looks fabulous... Again, many thanks & good luck to you." - P. "Almost finished reading the book, it is worth getting, I've learned so much about these liners. I just want to congradulate Kent on his great work and that it's an honor to be helping him." - Chris Mazzella, Maritime Artist. "Received the book today, can't wait to get into it after the initial flip through. Looks to be very enlightening. This is the fourth book from a TRMA author that I have added to my ever growing collection and have thoroughly enjoyed tham all. I'm sure that this one will not disappoint... Thanks to all of you... for sharing such wonderful information!! I've learned so much." - G. P. "Excellent Quality!!! This is even better than I had hoped. Recommended to all!" - C. "I like the photos. Where on earth did you get hose succession of photos of Olympic arriving into dock in NY?" - B. B. "Just wanted to tell you that I've gotten your book and I've read about 2/3th of it... I've enjoyed very much what I've read thus far, and some of the photos you've chosen are wonderful. It's nice to see a book with different photos in it - seems like all these books have exactly the same photographs... but, you've done very well with your photo selection." - R. L. |
