DJ: Near Fine; NOT Price Clipped ($25.95); slight wear to head and tips; light edge bumping. Blue boards and spine with bright silver lettering on the spine. Pictorial endpapers. 132 pp 4to. This book is a lavish pictorial tribute to Britain's most beloved royal figure, who time as the Queen Mother covered almost a century. Her marriage in 1923 to Prince Albert, Duke of York gave her headlines but her help to make the stuttering Prince into King George VI rekindled the public's faith in the Monarchy. One hundred classic newspaper and magazine front pages tell the tale of her century. A clean very presentable copy.
