Product Description
As the only book to be fully endorsed by the late Princess's estate and the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund, this Anniversary Edition by journalist Rosalind Coward stands as a unique and lasting testament to the life and work of one of the most extraordinary and enduring icons of the 20th century.Drawing on more than 200 original interviews with friends, family members, and international luminaries, the book features a foreword by Nelson Mandela and an introduction by Diana's sister Lady Sarah McCorquodale. More than 400 photographs illustrate this lavish volume-many of them published only within the context of this work. Structured around the final lines of Earl Spencer's eulogy, the book offers perspective on Diana, the unique, the complex, the extraordinary, and the irreplaceable-whom many remember as a passionate advocate for those marginalized by society.

 very nice book at low price May 11, 2008
First of all I saw this book at the library of Hansabanka Latvia . I decided - I want this book. When I ordered it in Amazon I thought it is not this book because price was about less than $ 15. When I received Diana's album The Portrait I saw - it is book I need !

I bought this book as a gift for my 97 year old mother (still mentally alert and an avid reader) and had it delivered to her house. She complained that the print was peach colored and very light and she couldn't read it, but that the pictures were beautiful. Assuming that I had received a bad copy I went to a Barns and Noble store, purchased a second copy, and sent it to her.
Upon inspecting the second copy, prior to sending it, I quickly discovered what the problem was. The font size in this book is very tiny; so small I have to struggle to see it and I have intraocular lens implants and read a couple of books a week. I solved the problem by including a big magnifying glass in the book shipment.
The bottom line is; the print in this book is just too small for older eyes. Otherwise, it's a beautiful book.

This is a well organize book. The photos are excellent. I have seem most of the photos, but not all. This book is well put together. As I turn the pages, I remember the outfits and events. This would make an excellent gift for a Diana fan.

I have this book and let me tell you, this books has the most beautiful and stunning photographs of the Princess Diana I have ever seen. I am so glad that my birthday is 2 weeks after hers (july 1st) mine is July 13th!!!! I just love looking at the photos, especially with her 2 sons William and Harry. This is a book I will treasure forver of our beloved princess. What a remarkable women. I suggest for those who haven,t read or seen the amazing photographs in here should.
A Must Have For Any Fan of Diana and her work. November 5, 2005

I love Princess Diana. I love Diana so much that I went to Althorp to pay my respects to her. This book, Diana: A Portrait brought back those memories. The book is filled with photos of Diana throughout her life, not just when she was a princess. Many of the photos come straight from items that are on display at the exhibit at Althorp, such as her school uniform and report cards. I feel that the book is a companion to that visit I made. If you get the opportunity to go to Althorp, by all means do go. If you can not get to Althorp, this book brings the Althorp exhibit and feeling to you. The photos are beautiful as is the text about Diana's life. The price tag is steep, but this book is a must for a Diana fan. As the exhibit says: The work continues.
