By Rodney Castleden. A sturdy compendium from Time Warner Books in Britain that starts way back with King John and Prince Arthur; the photos aren't shocking, but are at least variations on the ones you've seen a jillion times.
The hardcover is in decent shape: the jacket has some visible edgewear and rubbing; the pages are toned. But it’s clean inside, no writing/dog-ears; a fine reading or research copy overall.
