There are few, if any, distinguished personalities who have been more photographed and who have appeared on more stamps than the Queen Mother.

"The
book demands a specific place in philatelic literature because
of its insight to history on stamp and its exceptional theory
on stamp design."
Canadian Stamp News, April 2000

| "...
this book by regular GSM contributor, Peter Jennings, has
succesfully achieved the apparently impossible - to be, at
the same time, an attractively presented publication which
will appeal to all lovers of our most popular 'royal', while
providing an interesting and useful guide for collectors -
and not just those who collect royalty on stamps!"
