I just got my copy of this yesterday. I had no idea it was a big hardback. Absolutely gorgeous photos of Diana, some of the loveliest I've ever seen. I can't wait to read it when I get some time. I'm no longer in need of a coffee table book!

I can't believe they've been locked away so long! I only wish there were more of them. I can't wait to look at it properly. I'm almost afraid to touch the pages lest I fingerprint them up!

I can imagine. There are an insane number of pictures socked away that have never seen the light of day, and I still manage to come up with Avengers ones I've never seen in my life. Even the recent TNA soundtrack had three shots I'd never seen before. Not that I'm complaining.

No, it's great to get these surprises from time to time

There were tons of them, unique ones in negative and positive slide form, that went in that huge Avengers colelction on Ebay a few years back for thousands of dollars - lots of studio and publicity pics that no-one else has seen or owned before. I do wish I could have afforded them, they'd be public domain by now because they deserve to be seen!

I remember that auction. I wanted to bid on it so badly but I didn't have anywhere near the amount it was going for. They were mostly of Diana, but I saw one or two of Gareth that I would have dearly loved to have. Every time I see an original photo auction on ebay, I wonder if it came from that lot.

Me too - I think I saved the small images from those auctions to my computer...
