About This Item
Sussex: Teredo Books Ltd.. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket. 1982. First Edition. Hardcover. 0903662094 . With a frontispiece and 197 other illustrations, mostly from photographs and some in colour, illustrated endpapers, dustjacket spine sun faded, a very good copy in very good dustjacket. A complete account of all the world's projects for large passenger liners which, for one reason or another, never entered service. Some were still-born, some met with disaster after launching, and some were diverted to other purposes during war. Potentially, some were the greatest liners ever conceived and would have surpassed the most famous, not only in speed and in splendour, but in their very size and appearance. They were victims of circumstance a fate narrowly missed by a few of the most celebrated liners. ; 255 x 200mm; xxii, 350 pages .
