Hi I’m Maddi! My favorite book that we had on display at the "Beautiful Books" event is The Queen’s Diamonds. The Queen’s Diamonds is a large coffee table book that features images of the tiaras, bracelets, brooches, earrings and necklaces that are owned by the Queen of England.
I love this book because the photographs it contains are absolutely amazing. Not only can you see how the different ladies in the royal family wore the jewelry, you can also see three-dimensional images of the jewelry itself.
In my opinion, the three-dimensional images are the best part of this book, because the diamonds appear to sparkle, and it is almost as if you can reach out and touch the tiaras. That’s why I think this was the most beautiful book we had on display at the "Beautiful Books" event.
