James Cameron's Titanic. James Cameron, Ed W. Marsh Paperback – January 1, 2012

4.1 out of 5 stars 8 ratings

James Cameron's Titanic chronicles the cinematic re-creation of the most legendary ocean disaster of all time as seen through the eyes of a master storyteller. Set against the ship's fateful maiden voyage, Cameron's much anticipated motion picture epic weaves a rich human tapestry of romance, heroism, tragedy and greed. Within these pages is a detailed look at the monumental effort by thousands of artists and craftsmen to accurately re-create the "ship of dreams," including the full-size exterior replica of the ship and the 17-million-gallon tank facility designed to sink her; a wealth of detailed interior spaces; new discoveries from Cameron's 1995 dives to the wreck, some two-and-a-half miles below the ocean surface; studies of the ornate wardrobe, makeup and hairstyles that defined the look of the "Gilded Age"; an overview of the film's groundbreaking visual-effects work; and in-depth interviews with cast and crew, all referenced to the historic events of the Titanic's maiden, and final, voyage.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Are you ready to go back to Titanic?
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 4, 2012
    Just recieved this book in the post today after ordering it at the weekend, delivery was very fast!

    Well, what can I say? First of all, the front cover itself looks amazing. The 3D image of Jack and Rose is great, and when caught in a certain light looks amazing!

    The book itself is well-written and takes you on a Journey with James Cameron and all of the other staff members who made Titanic Possible. It's entertaining, engaging, informative and funny at times. The pictures throughout the book are of excellent quality and contain both shots from the movie, the creation of the movie, real life underwater images and many more!

    If you are a fan of the Titanic, and whether you have or have not seen the movie, this book is an excellent buy and a must-have! A really nice collectors-edition which offers the ultimate behind-the-scenes look at one of the most beloved movies of all time.

    I loved this book the first time round and as a bit of a titanic enthusiast I had to buy it again. If you like the film I would definitely recommend it.

    Yes, you do already have this book, if you're looking at your 1997 edition in confusion. The cover's all fancy and lenticular, but if you look deep beneath the cover, you will discover, not much has changed and it's a not-so-cheap cash in. You don't already have the 1997 book? Go ahead and buy this one, it is worth your money.

    So why do I now have two editions of what is essentially the same book? Because I'm a sucker for anything Titanic and books, which some people say is boring. I walked into work one day to get shown this, but it was cheaper on Amazon. So I went home and accidentally clicked order, sucked in by the 30 extra pages that the website proudly displayed.

    On comparison with the previous edition, the new cover is better. And it's lenticular! Once you discover lenticular doesn't mean it actually DOES anything, yes, the shine does come off it a little bit. On a quick flick through, the reader is visually assaulted by the sumptuous, gorgeous photos included within glossy pages, including a particularly stunning one of Kate Winslet - man is her skin FLAWLESS. Also note the frequency that James Cameron appears in the photos - master of all trades who not only wrote, directed and edited the film but wasn't afraid to get down and dirty (and wet) during filming, judging by the photos. The foreword that he wrote for the previous book is also here, updated so it reads like a brand new foreword.

    Also included are brand new mini-chapters: Building the Ship, Bringing History to Life, Filming the Sinking, The Phenomenon, and Academy Awards. After you've read those, don't be fooled. Because after a side to side comparison with my Dad holding the old edition and me with the new one, we discovered there was nothing new about the following chapters. Same photos, same layout as the old edition. So really you're paying anything from £10-£20 ($15-$31) for an additional 28 pages to what you already have.

    BUT here's the killer - is it 28 pages? Really? Throw in a couple of drinks on a Saturday night when I'm bored after watching a movie and I decide to delve a little deeper. The old edition has 178 pages NOT including the 13 pages of foreword. This makes 191 pages. With me so far? The new edition has 178 pages plus the 28 pages of foreword (including those additional mini-chapters mentioned previously.) Yet, various websites are listing the official page count as 208. So there are only 11 extra pages if you compare the two books. NOT the 30 pages that you are led to believe.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I have this book. It's a welcome addition to the 50+ Titanic books I already have. But with the centenary year on us, you need to be wary if you're a lover of Titanic books like me. I've already been fooled once this year by a book that I bought, that I already had - all because it was given a new title and new cover. I don't regret buying this book, but in hindsight, I might not have been in such a mad rush to buy it, had I known the real difference in the page count. Because of that, what would have been a five star book, lost a star.

    Did I mention there's a free foldout poster included too?
