Inaugural Books

[WheelieNick]

I have one inaugural book, of the Eurodam. Today I learned that there are more of these books. 

I cannot find anywhere to buy them though, but a perfect collectors item for me

You need to do some googling for Ocean Liner Memorabilia dealers.  One such dealer with whom I have dealt is Nautiques.net.  The owner is reputable and is an Officer with the Steamship Historical Society of America.  There are other dealers as well and I have never heard anything negative about any of them .  I am fairly certain that Nautiques has inaugural books, but I don't know of what ships nor how many.  May I suggest that you contact him?

 

All of the inaugural books I have are of HAL ships except for one.  I recently acquired one as a gift from a friend when the original Royal Princess entered service in 1984.  It truly is the nicest one that I have!

If you are still interested, the dealer whom I mentioned in the post above has listed for sale inaugural books for several HAL ships in this week's e-mail from him.  The price is quite reasonable for each of them:  $12.50.
