This 40 page soft cover book (reminiscent of the older larger size Pitkin Pictorials) focuses on the royal wedding, the details and the ceremony seen by nearly a billion people around the world. The text was written by James Wilkinson, who has written many Abbey publications.
The book also includes a chapter on earlier royal weddings at Westminster Abbey (omitting Princess Patricia of Connaught's wedding in 1919) from the Duke of York's marriage to Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon in 1923 to their grandson, Andrew's marriage to Sarah Ferguson in 1986.
This is a glossy paper publication complemented by a nice selection of color photographs. The Royal Wedding The Official Westminster Abbey Souvenir is available on both sides of the Atlantic ($8.00/
£5.00).
This is one of the 'must have' royal wedding books because the detailed description of the wedding ceremony.
