Os livros LMC - RMS QUEEN ELIZABETH of 1969

A observação dos navios, quando das minhas mais remotas viagens marítimas ou em deambulações portuárias, foi desde cedo apoiada e complementada por livros, e pela vontade de um dia, quando fosse grande, fazer os meus próprios livros. 
O primeiro surgiu em 1988 e espero continuar a fazer muitos mais, com a necessária adaptação à realidade actual do mercado livreiro, nada favorável a autores e editores vocacionados para temas especializados.
O paquete inglês QUEEN ELIZABETH 2 teve um papel especial na minha vida. Ainda miúdo, acompanhei a construção e não perdi a primeira escala no Tejo, em Abril de 1969, nem as muitas outras que se seguiram até 2008. Tive oportunidade de viajar a bordo mais de uma vez  e de fazer um livro que se pode dizer ser o meu «best seller», com duas edições. 
Um livro feito em parceria com o meu Amigo Bill Miller, produzido e editado em Lisboa e entretanto cm exemplares espalhados por todo o mundo. Terceiro título da colecção LINER BOOKS. Os textos são em inglês, mas muito acessíveis, e as fotografias falam por sí. Informações mais detalhada e sobre como adquirir exemplares aqui.

LMC Books on the QE2



When I first saw the QE2 in Lisbon on 28 April 1969 I hardly knew that one day I would do a book on her with Bill Miller.
Photos: LMC books on display at the QE2 bookshop and LMC signing books on board on a photo taken by Raquel Sabino Pereira, whose photographic skills are second to none.

The face behind the pictures



The face behind the pictures. This time going nowhere for the moment. Just going along with a passion for ships that in 1975 took over a camera and turned into shipping photography. And each ship is a picture and for each picture I wish I could have a book. Another book was finished yesterday. The best one. My best book is always the one I'm working on right now. And this book - a company history and fleet list is about some of my favorite ships from the past. While doing it I got closer and closer to those ships and the men behind them. Starting with the company's founder, a very interesting and clever man who was unable to sign his name but did create a shipping company that is still going strong. While writing on him I became more and more involved with him, with his work, his partners and the people who managed the company after he passed away. He seems to be on the second picture waiting for his newest ship to cross the Tagus Bar. He still sails on the ships operated by his company. And that counts. And after more than a year working hard on books that never get finished I'm getting nuts. Sorry...
