Book Reviews of Luxury Liners: Life on Board
Book Review: I guess it depends on what you want the book for...
Summary: 5 Stars
I work in a visual field and bought this book because I was looking for inspiration from images depicting luxury liners - specifically the excitement involved in embarking and disembarking, and especially the opulence of life aboard these ships. This book contains wonderful imagery for this purpose. The images I found were exactly what I needed to portray the mood I was looking for. The inclusion of celebrities enjoying life above these liners added to the excitement. This publisher is known for creating visually stylish books with wonderful imagery, which is why it attracts people like me who buy their books for similar purposes. This one did not dissapoint in that arena. I purchased the book primarily for visual inspiration, so therefore I was highly satisfied with the book.
I must confess however, that I am dissapointed to learn from the other reviewers, who seem to be luxury liner afficionados, that the information contained in the book is not accurate. Being that I don't know much about luxury liners, I am not in the position to catch the misinformation that has been pointed out by other reviewers. I will take their reviews on faith however, and will not rely on this book to educate myself on this subject. I would reduce the number of stars in my reveiw for this reason as well, but since I puchased the book specifically for imagery, and was so pleased with what I got, I cannot in good conscience take any more away from this volume than that.
