The book's editor F.A. Breuhaus de Groot (1883-1960) documents, largely through images, every aspect of the SS Bremen's decorations, design, construction, and service. The volume includes at the rear a complete list of contractors who supplied furnishings; it is a great source documenting 1920s design and technology.** "Postage for oversized and international shipping will be calculated by size and weight.
