I'm looking to purchase a beautifully illustrated coffee table book on Elizabeth I, but don't know what to buy. Can I get any suggestions from the lovely members of the AP?

Hi Laura. Not going to be much help but I only have a few ( rather tatty and old ) paperbacks on Elizabeth 1st.....she is not my most favourite historical figure, ( Treason). I think there is a rather nice book written by Anne Somerset out there you might want to have a look at though. Maybe a Liz fan will come to your aid although these boards are painfully quiet recently.

Thank you so much Kimberly for the suggestion. I will take a look into Anne Somerset's book. The book is for a girlfriend who doesn't have anything on Elizabeth I yet. I was hoping to get her something visually impressive to start.
