Interesting selection of books about ships, David! It’s nice to know that we share this interest too! That last one has a great cover illustration and looks quite tempting! If a newcomer only wanted one book, this is it. A coffee table book with good info. and lots of colour pics. I have had it for over ten years and still like to pore through it.

A great coffee table book on design and art of the Deco period.

Always up for anything Art Deco or Art Nouveau-related.

The latest addition to the Masterpieces of Style series. Just Giugiaro to complete.

Excellent. Have looked over those books, they're drool-inducing.

This is a slim volume on a less well known shipping line. However, the book scores in conveying via it's pics the style of liner travel. Most of the pics are in colour and the colour interior shots are so much better than B&W in conveying the atmosphere on board. . I would recommend this to anyone who wants to start a collection.

The final book of the Masterpieces of Design, currently available, arrived today. At a cursory glance of the book, Giugiaro designed many cars I thought were created by different designers. Recommended. After a more detailed perusal it would easier to name famous cars he didn't design!

Your last sentence sums up his prolific brilliance! And to think it all started with the Gordon-Keeble. One wonders where it will end?

That would be one of my top picks in the series.

It's the best in the series IMHO.
