Aquitania Book

A couple of people had asked me about when the Aquitania book would be
available, so I thought I=92d post an update with some information and
relevant website links:

The Aquitania book went to the printers in the middle of July, and it
will shortly begin to appear in bookstores. As it is distributed, pre-
orders will begin to be ****pped. A new preview page has been added to
my website. It provides a lot of information about the book and its
origins. There are several page shots which allow the reader to take a
brief look inside the book itself:

New articles have been added, as well: a dossier, Aquitania =91The Grand
Old Lady=92; the Majestic Gallery, which contains nearly forty pages and
a large number of Majestic images; Homeric=92s First Class Dining
Saloon, containing a rare deckplan showing the layout of the dining
saloon as it was in 1932; or, you may wish to step onboard the good
****p Adriatic for the Adriatic Mediterranean Cruise 1931; explore the
new Baltic=92s Cabin Class 1928; examine Majestic Tourist Third Cabin
Accommodation 1929; take Majestic Second Cabin 1931 (just before
second class - or =91cabin=92 - vanished entirely); or view a rare White
Star Line brochure, issued in Italian to try and lure immigrants
onboard Majestic, Majestic: Vedute in Terza Classe. It includes a
remarkable comparison of the liner=92s length and that of the leaning
Tower of Pisa. Take a peek inside: Aquitania Tourist Third Cabin 1929.
Three new FAQ pages address questions - and misconceptions - about
three of the ****ps featured on this site: Majestic: Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQ), Olympic: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and
Aquitania: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
