...my husband has an old book about the Titanic...

Would it possibly be Sinking of the Titanic The World's Greatest Sea Disaster?

I have a copy; lots of passenger accounts, taken immediately after the disaster. (The copyright is 1912).

"Would it possibly be Sinking of the Titanic The World's Greatest Sea Disaster? "

I have that one as well ... found it in my grandmother's attic years ago. Unfortunately, the mice had gotten to the back cover a little bit and the adhesive holding the spine and pages together had dissipated over the years as a result of the fluctuations between summer heat and winter cold.

I still have it, but it's pretty much contained in a zip-lock bag to keep it all together. What a shame ...

Published by Minter Co., of Harrisburg, PA - “Memorial Edition - Sinking of the Titanic - Thrilling Stories Told by Survivors”, 1912.

Not typical printing info in this book as I’m used to (very similar to today). Including, when looking at the “title page” and so on, it seems to change titles. My husband is from central PA so perhaps every local publisher was printing something.

Excellent book, that. I got it as a gift for a birthday awhile back and it is the best.
