Book Reviews of Crossing the Atlantic: The Romance of Transoceanic Cruising
Book Review: william h miller?
Summary: 1 Stars
Since I started buying Bill Millers books I have been delighted with his passion, creativity and insight in the world of oceanliners.His books are wonderful, with the best book sofar being "Liners of the Golden Age". A beautiful (hardcover)treasure !.Being used to the high quality of Miller's product "Crossing the Atlantic" is unfortunately a major setback.If I could have seen it in a bookstore I wouldn't have bought it at all, but from the internet the name Miller and a beautiful vintage coverphoto is enough to go for it.A mistake in this case .Mr.Maxtone's writing is eloquent as ever, but the lay-out, pictures and foreall the main story are utterly disappointing. I expected a small but delightful episode on the life onboard the liners of the past during the crossings,(much in the style of mr.Maxtone's oceanliner bible " The only way to cross" with stories of passengers, authentic pictures and capturing comments.
But all the vintage pictures we have seen before and they add very little to what we know already ;the pictures of ports and pittoresque places to visit we find in any cruise or holiday magazine, so what exactly is the point?
I know Mr Miller is a phenomenal writer in his field, and that he has a lot to offer to us readers. Let's consider this booklet as a little accident and stretch our necks in anticipation for his next product.I am sure its going to be very good.Please make it a hardcover, you and we deserve it, thank you !
