5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully illustrated, entertaining.
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Classic narrative destroyed by atrocious editing
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars What a waste of money..., January 13, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Queen Victoria: An Eminent Illustrated Biography (Hardcover)
...on the part of the publisher and author to get something this great in print and fail to have it professionally edited. The cost of the color plates, binding, and printing must have been enormous, and the thing reads like a 6th-grade paper that hasn't been proofed. Pity.
