Book Reviews of Diana: The Portrait: Anniversary Edition
Book Review: Sailorman
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this book as a gift for my 97 year old mother (still mentally alert and an avid reader) and had it delivered to her house. She complained that the print was peach colored and very light and she couldn't read it, but that the pictures were beautiful. Assuming that I had received a bad copy I went to a Barns and Noble store, purchased a second copy, and sent it to her.
Upon inspecting the second copy, prior to sending it, I quickly discovered what the problem was. The font size in this book is very tiny; so small I have to struggle to see it and I have intraocular lens implants and read a couple of books a week. I solved the problem by including a big magnifying glass in the book shipment.
The bottom line is; the print in this book is just too small for older eyes. Otherwise, it's a beautiful book.
Summary of Diana: The Portrait: Anniversary Edition
As the only book to be fully endorsed by the late Princess's estate and the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund, this Anniversary Edition by journalist Rosalind Coward stands as a unique and lasting testament to the life and work of one of the most extraordinary and enduring icons of the 20th century.Drawing on more than 200 original interviews with friends, family members, and international luminaries, the book features a foreword by Nelson Mandela and an introduction by Diana's sister Lady Sarah McCorquodale. More than 400 photographs illustrate this lavish volume--many of them published only within the context of this work.
Structured around the final lines of Earl Spencer's eulogy, the book offers perspective on Diana, the unique, the complex, the extraordinary, and the irreplaceable--whom many remember as a passionate advocate for those marginalized by society.
