When ships were build or rebuilt most owners put together a "builders book" of sorts to celebrate their work and the ships early history. The Norwegians knocked it out of the park with their SS Norway ( ex France) builders book ... it is one of my favorites and one of the best ever! this is full of lovely color photography celebrating the ss France, her rebuilding into the Norway, new interiors and entry into service.  Lots of text and information is packed into the 124 pages. The cover has an embossed bow image of the ship and silver letting ( also some scuffs and soiling). these re hard to find and can have some brittle binding ... the copy is solid and in great condition.
