Rating: Summary: If you MUST buy this book, get CHEAPEST copy !!! Review: The only redeeming quality about this book is that it's filled with pictures. However, they aren't necessarily GOOD pictures. Most of them you've probably seen a million times before. As evidenced on the front cover, a lot of the pictures are in black and white (or brown and white) and sometimes with added elements of color in themIf your looking for a sensational expose' about the prince's life then this book is NOT for you. Peter Archer pretty much plays it safe and sticks to verfiable facts. However, if you just want a straight biography about the prince without a lot of the fluff that other books often give then I suggest you buy this book at the cheapest price you can find.
Rating: Summary: Strickly Speaking... Review: This is a good book that sticks to the facts, but if you're looking for a more indepth biography of the prince, there are probably better books from which to choose. I enjoyed the pictures in the book, particularly of the prince playing polo, but many of the photos I had seen before and many of the facts I already knew. Bottom line: a good starter book on the prince, but for those of us who have been reading about him for a while, the same old stuff.
