The queen's style couldn't be documented in any old book, could it? There's certainly nothing ordinary about Taschen's new royal tome, Her Majesty, published in honour of her diamond jubilee, photographically illustrating her six decades on the throne - AKA, some mega pictures of her majesty by Cecil Beaton, Patrick Lichfield Rankin, Annie Liebovitz and many more acclaimed snappers. 

Presented in a jacket designed by none other than Vivienne Westwood, and hand-stitched with silver thread no less, this is about as fancy as books get. Fit for a queen indeed. 

Whether or not you want to splash out £550 for this collector's item is quite another matter, but click the gallery to get a taste of what you could see if you did.
