Steamer Stories is the first-ever comprehensive bibliography of ship fiction (whether steamers or sailing ships). 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. Krummes (1949-2012) was Director of the Institute of Transportation Studies Library at the University of California, Berkeley, where he was honored with the Distinguished Librarian Award.
