Editor’s Note
  1. Mandy Kirkby, Editor
At 11.40 p.m. on the night of 14 April 1912, the Titanic struck an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean. Everyone thinks they know what happened next. But you don’t – you really don’t – until you read A Night to Remember. This definitive account and the source for countless novels, plays and films, including James Cameron's Titanic, is based on the testimony of survivors, as interviewed by Walter Lord. In his minute-by-minute piecing together of events, Lord manages to convey both the detail and the sweep, the small sorrows and the all-embracing horror.Our edition features 100 images of ephemera, photographs, portraits of the passengers and crew and modern photographs of the wreck. And we've sourced an original deck plan, large-scale and folded in a back pocket, blocked with the White Star Line flag. Its details are fascinating, showing everything from the lifeboat positions to the valets' quarters. The introduction by historian and presenter of The Rest is History podcast, Dominic Sandbrook, delves into the rivalry between Britain and the US that helped set the stage for one of history's most infamous maritime disasters.

A bit like reading a compilation of the newspapers from that time following the event. I suppose, that in hindsight I should have expected much more?

My dad absolutely loves this book, so I got him this edition from Christmas. He spent half an hour geeking out over it and looking at the pictures. 100% worth it.

For any "Titanic" enthusiast,this book is a must-have. I learnt more about this ship and its demise than I'd accumulated over a lifetime. It includes passenger lists. It covers the hours immediately after the sinking in better detail than I've come across in any other account.Plus,so many wonderful photographs.

A gorgeous book. I have to admit that I have read this before and largely bought it for the new introduction from Dominick Sandbrook. I am a bit of a Titanic obsessive and really loved this. A special book and, as a fan of The Rest is History, the introduction added extra enjoyment. Gorgeous photographs too and beautifully packaged.

As a life-long lover of the Titanic and everything to do with that amazing point in history, this lovely edition of Walter Lord's book will take pride of place on my shelf, along with my most treasured books! Quality is found in every little detail of the materials, construction, and care lavished on its creation. Immediately, you come to understand why Folio Society books have the giant reputation they have honestly earned!

I have never read this book, but saw the movie it’s based on. I am a self-described Titanic expert, and this book definitely qualifies me as such haha. The artwork is amazing, the cover box is beautiful, the paper is very textile, and the blueprints are a nice touch. I’ll never let go of this book
