A Rare Titanic Family
Related with obvious affection for her great-uncle, the author also gives a good sense of the difficulties in piecing together family histories and how even close relatives might not know the whole story. In addition to Titanic buffs, genealogists and missionary history readers will like this.

Voyagers of the Titanic
Except for a few vexing spots (even after 100 years, some authors still inaccurately state that the Morse code signal SOS is an abbreviation for "save our souls"), this is a well-researched and appealing read. Recommended for those interested in the personal angles of the story. (Illustrations not seen.) [See Prepub Alert, 9/19/11.]

Titanic
An optional purchase, best for readers with a casual, not overly fussy, interest in the subject.

Maxtone-Graham's command of sources is indisputable, but endnotes would have been welcome. Aficionados might be familiar with some of the information here, but should still want this book.
