Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
This book identifies and values hundreds of the mementos and keepsakes relating to the Late Princess Diana. From plates, dolls, figurines, and similar items-even shirts-to the paper ephemera that chronicled her life and the tragedy of her death, the history of the lovely Princess Di is reflected in these collectors' treasures.
About the Author
Charles Nobles met Princess Diana in person while on a trip to London in 1992. Even though it was a brief encounter, it was one of the most memorable experiences of his life. He had begun his collection of Diana memorabilia following the Royal Wedding in 1981. The first item in the collection, a commemorative book about the wedding, was a gift from his mother. Seventeen years later his collection of 2,500 pieces includes items from around the world.
Mr. Nobles and his collection have been in the media numerous times. He was interviewed for USA Today and articles about him appeared on the AP Wire service. He was featured on the FX series "Personal FX, The Collectibles Show" as a super collector. He was one of the few chosen to attend the Christies' "Auction of Dresses from the collection of Diana, Princess of Wales."
Mr. Nobles lives in Myrtle Beach, SC, and continues to increase his collection. He plans to donate a portion of the proceeds from this book to Careteam, a local AIDS support organization. He can be contacted at diwatchr@sccoast.net.

VERY Disaapointing Book!,
By red_tresses (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Diana - Collecting on a Princess: Collecting on a Princess (Paperback)
I am an avid collector of British Royalty commemoratives (25 years) and especially those devoted to the late Princess Diana. When I first heard about this book, I was very excited by the prospect of a book devoted to memorabilia on the Princess. I bought the book as soon as I could and am VERY disappointed in it. Bottom line...it is just a book written by a fan who is showing off his collection of mostly newspapers, magazines, books and a few dolls. What about information regarding the numerous pottery and porcelain cups, mugs, tumblers, beakers, plates, vases, teapots, vases, jugs, figurines, etc.? Bottom line, don't waste your money. If you truly want to know more about accurate prices and what is available, the better buy is the book written by Al Bolton and Doug Flynn "British Royalty Commemoratives". This is a terrific book that is very professionally done....not like the amatuerish one that Charles Noble threw together

A 1 Star Rating is much too high for this book!,
By red_tresses (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Diana - Collecting on a Princess: Collecting on a Princess (Paperback)
I received this book for Christmas and after reading through it, I still can't believe that any publisher would have accepted this 'lack of substance' and put it between covers and actually try to sell it. Not one thing that I own was in this book, not 1 cup, not 1 plate, not 1 figurine, not 1 book. I gave the book back to the person who gave me this gift and asked them to return it...it has no place in my collection!

Not for Serious Diana Collectors,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Diana - Collecting on a Princess: Collecting on a Princess (Paperback)
I was very disappointed with this book. The only good thing I can say about it is I am thankful for Amazon.com's generous return policy.I didn't like it for two reasons: A. I am a serious Diana collector, and most of the things from my collection were not even listed in the book. B. The valuing of each item was very vague. If your an "expert" on Diana memorabilia, you should be able to quote more exact amounts.
