One of several new books about the Queen Elizabeth 2 to come out recently, this one stands out, like the ship herself, as a work of art. Each of the authors is experienced in art and design, andrnin maritime history. This ship history is one of the best that I have seen; covering not just QE2s engineering, construction, and operational history, but also deeply delving into her intetior and exterior design as a work of art. The book itself is beautifully designed, with striking full-page and double-page color photographs of the vessel. The chapter titles are double-paged and each is worthy of use as a title page for a whole book by itself. The coated paper chosen for this book is very heavy, and it reproduces the many color and halftone photos beautifully. In fact, in reading it I often feared that I was turning two pages instead of one.
