Hi Arturo,

don´t want to get on your nerves, but how can we here in good old Europe get our hands on one copy? Will you sell the book through Van Hoogstraten?

I do not know...If we get copies, subscribers to my magazine, The European Royal History Journal, as usual get first choice, as it is only fair that they do.  If there are copies left, then we can offer these to clients who are just book buyers.  And then if there are any copies after that I may send some to van Hoogstraten.

In the meanwhile I do my own recourche. I can't wait till Van Hoogstraten get some copies or not. And I think I got the big fish from the water. 2 bookshops in Holland claims that they can offer this book.

I received my copy in the mail today and it's such a lovely book. The borders are incredible! I highly recommend everyone trying to get one or at least looking at it.  ;D

The photos and images inside it more than make up for the language issue.

I was just about ready to give in to the temptation and order this book, but the price at ozon.ru has doubled since September.  :-[

Anybody know why? I wonder if I should snap up a copy before the cost goes up further...?  :-\

Well, I believe they undestood a real value of the book and moreover our local bookstores sell it at a very high price. Though I don't think the cost goes further...

Not really coffee table size...but certainly coffee table-like as it is chock-full of photos.

Our other In memoriam volumes have included between 100-120 photos, in this one I sort of went all out by including 170 images from her childhood to her reburial, including all her children and grandchildren and even her grandparents!
