Queen Victoria: An Eminent Illustrated Biography

Rating:
Summary: Wonderfully illustrated, entertaining.
Review: This book is a "must have" for anyone interested in royalty or history in general. It's a lovely book in a scaled down coffee table format.

Rating:
Summary: Classic narrative destroyed by atrocious editing
Review: This book was sloppily produced. Typographical errors permeate. There are distracting mistakes in some of the captions, too, such as that for a picture of a gray bearded, corpulent Prince of Wales supposedly taken in 1863 when he would have been a man in his early twenties (p. 205). The author -- and his subject -- deserve much better. The publisher deserves a spanking.
