About MeA green hardback album with thick green paper leaves bound with a length of black cord, with a large coloured and gilt picture of Queen Elizabeth II in her coronation robes in Westminster Abbey on the front cover.

The album is full of scraps (black and white and colour) of the Queen's coronation tour, mostly taken from newspapers and magazines. These have been annotated with date and places in clear script.

A label inside the back cover identifies the book as "A CONRAD PRODUCT MADE IN ENGLAND".
