The color section of cover art and illustrations from the works cited and the humorous and engaging writing style makes the book a delightful read in and of itself (unexpectedly so, for a bibliography). Readers can use the book to: locate works on a wide array of topics or specific genres (notably whodunits); unearth little-known stories by famed authors; identify works by illustrators; discover the stories that inspired famed Hollywood films. Altogether, Steamer Stories greatly expands our understanding of the powerful role that ships have played in the culture of the English-speaking world. Daniel C.
