    as you Nellie, and didn't see the post lower down, hence my one being some duplicate information.

    and I would still say that this one can matter to us too, as it will show none jewellery such as swords and boxes.

    :
    : The first, left, is for the exhibition; the
    : second, right, is the official souvenir; but
    : the third is the one that really matters to
    : us.

    : Yes Nellie, you are right.
    :
    : Although since the relaunch of the Royal
    : Collection website, I can no longer find the

    : Diamonds: A Jubilee Celebration will be the
    : smaller exhibition catalogue, akin to the
    : books released in conjunction with other
    : BPSO Exhibitions including:
    :
    : Five Gold Rings: A Royal Wedding Souvenir
    : Album or The Royal Tour: A Souvenir Album.
    :
    : These were both smaller hardback books,
    : around 100 pages, that accompany the
    : exhibition, a smaller and more digestible
    : souvenir, more for tourists than scholars.
    :
    : In contrast The Queen's Diamonds, will be a
    : large and properly referenced scholarly
    : approach to subject, definitely containing
    : much more information, better images &
    : covering every single exhibit in the
    : exhibition (in contrast to Diamonds: A
    : Jubilee Celebration which will be more of a
    : simplified overview.
    :
    : The best comparisons to be made between the
    : two books is to compare the two books
    : released to mark the Victoria & Albert
    : exhibition.
    :
    : The authoritative work on the exhibition
    : was: Victoria & Albert, Art & Love,
    : which was a huge 500 page volume; which can
    : be compared to the Hugh Roberts - The
    : Queen's Diamonds.
    :
    : Whereas the smaller, cheaper & more
    : digestible publication was Passionate
    : Patrons, which was only 200 pages, and can
    : be compared to the Caroline de Guitaut
    : publication.
