hi guys, plz help me pick one book about royal jewels.
i'm crazy about royal jewels,and want to buy a book about the royal jewels, but as i'm not in Britain or US and the shipping fee of Amazon.com is very expensive, i don't have the chance to buy one. now one of my friend is on business trip to Canada, and he can got a book for me as a birthday present. but as I never really read these books before, i don't know which one to choose. from what i've read on the Royal Jewels board, i think the following books are good, but i can't have all of them at once, so plz, help me pick one!
basically i'm only interested in the jewels of current
British royal family, esp. those still
in existence (if the jewel no longer exist, then no need to know about it). the books should have
colored pictures of the jewels, also information about the
provenance and current whereabouts of the jewels
which of the following books should I get??
leslie field: queen's jewels [it's a good book, but isn't it devoted to past royal jewels as well?]
leslie field: the jewels of queen elizabeth ii: her personal collection [only jewels of HM]
geoffrey munn: tiaras : past and present [tiara only?]
geoffrey munn: tiaras: a history of splendour [too expensive, but i guess it's a great book?]
thanks for your help!!! bow
