Titanic or Olympic: Which Ship Sank?: The Truth Behind the Conspiracy

The book released only 3 months previous (April 10), a signed copy on Ebay selling for over 3 times its original sale price.

All those books I signed and sent out last week would appear to have a higher (resale / used, and or auction) value from the jacket price ($US18.95).

There is a book review on Michael (TheManInBlack) Tennaro (‘s) - TitanicBook.com site.

Anyone with an interest in Titanic tech can't go wrong getting a copy of this work. Even if you don't care one way or another about conspiracies, there's a wealth of information on the similarities and the differences between the ships that no techie should be without. The photos...many of which appear to be quite rare...by themselves make this book a very good buy!

I couldn't agree more... This book is full of information that I wish I would have had access to when my interest in the Titanic & Olympic began 30 years ago. This book along, with David Brown's "Last log of the Titanic" are the most compelling Titanic reads in the last several years.

"Looks like the work is being well recieved then."

Every where but here Michael. (Steve shaking his head in bewilderment)
All the emails and mail I'm receiving is incredible - but nothing here at all. Is it the theory, is it the material in the book or is it that the authors are on the nose.
I have no idea.

You may not hear a lot about it on this forum because most of the Titanic techies don't seem to hang out here. Most of the members here tend to take a deep interest in passenger/crew information. Why that is, I don't know, but there you are. Even if people don't respond on the forum, I think you can take the favourable e-mails as a good sign. Further, even if people don't always respond here, you can bet they're taking notice.

Well, Steve (& Bruce):

I got my copy of your book from the THS, and I'm about half way through it. GREAT BOOK! Well researched - and, an extra goodie for some of us - pictures of the Titanic I've never seen before!

Well worth the money I spent.

As you know Steve there will be a full review of the book here soon. Perhaps that will spark more discussion.

The only comments that have come my way that might conceivably be considered a negative is that several people have mentioned to me that they don't need a book to tell them that Gardiner's theories are not worth the paper they are printed on.

That is why in my review I made it a point to highlight the amount of photographic documentary material most people probably have not seen before. As Bill, also pointed out, new pictures of Titanic are something few and far between, and your book is very exciting for that alone.

This is so much more than a conspiracy busting book. If you are into the technical aspects of the Olympic class ships, this book is a gold mine.

all the best, Michael (TheManInBlack) T

Ditto to what Mike said about - a gold mine.

I finished mine today.

And make sure to check out the definitions of nautical terms at the end ofthis book - especially "rivetcounter"!
