Description: ~FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION ~ TWO FIRST EDITION BOOKS "The Sinking of the Titanic & Great Sea Disasters: Thrilling Stories of Survivors - With Photographs and Sketches" Edited by Logan Marshall and "Wreck and Sinking of the Titanic: The Ocean's Greatest Disaster" Edited by Marshall Everett, RMS Titanic hit an iceberg on April 14, 1912 and sank in the early morning hours of April 15th. More than 1500 people perished in this atlantic crossing, her maiden voyage. Within weeks, various accounts of the tragedy were being sold door-to-door, and these became known as the "instant books". They are not the highest-quality publications: inexpensive paper was used and, because of their instantaneous nature, some of the stories told have been proven to be historically incorrect. Nevertheless, many of these narratives are still available in modern paperback reprint form. As is the usual case with these instant books, the reader is promised "an account of the most awful marine disaster in history, constructed from... those on board who survived..." in all it's lurid detail.The books being sold here are original hardbacks from 1912: Over 100 years of age. Faded titles, browning of pages, bumping to corners, wear on spine, spotting. Please refer to pictures, which comprise part of this description. Well over 100 years of age, and it shows. Higher shipping cost to destinations other than USA.
