   TITANIC~THE DEATH AND LIFE OF A LEGEND by Michael Davie: 245 pages, hardcover with dustjacket, poor to fair condition. Hardcover is rough looking, has fade lines and rubbing on edges, scuffing, and a broken corner. There are smudges on some pages. Contents are tightly bound and illustrated with b/w photographs. Published by Alfred A. Knopf 1987. Original price is $19.95.

   In this book, Davie tells how and why the great ship was constructed~how the Titanic acquired her reputation for "unsinkability"~Exactly what happened on the disastrous night: the dramatic account of the collision, the panic that followed, the cowardice and heroism among passengers, officers and crew~unexpected revelations about profiteering in the wake of the tragedy~the full story of the long, unflagging search on the ocean floor for the lost wreck.

   TITANIC AND THE MAKING OF JAMES CAMERON by Paula Parisi: 234 pages, softcover, good condition. Cover has clear tape on edges in addition to library stamps and labels. Illustrated with color photographs and includes filmography and index. Published by Newmarket Press, 1998. Original price is $14.95.

   Step by step, the author shows how the original $110 million budget for the movie careened out of control, and what Cameron and the studio heads at Fox and Paramount did about it. This is a story of obsession, passion, and one man's visionary quest for perfection. This was the first film to gross over $1 billion worldwide and winner of 11 Academy Awards.

   Media s&h is $4.00 to anywhere in the U.S., payable by PayPal. I ship only to the U.S. and will combine s&h on multiple auctions.
