I received my copy today too, just as Amazon UK promised. Yes, thank you so much Boffer for the preview!
I haven't read the text yet. I will spend this week doing that. I have looked through all the pictures and love the details!
How come some jewelry pictured shows the actual size but some of them don't? Queen Mary's Lover's Knot Brooch is an example. The close-up photo is wonderful, but the following pages don't show the actual size. I wonder how they decided which one would show the actual size or not. It's a mystery to me.
Hope everyone enjoys their book!
