Many thanks for your response Jean. I don't think there is a connection with the Royal household in my family, but you never know. My book does not have an inscription.
I think that it is strange that there is no real information on the book - apart from the one that was a delux edition. Ours is obviously the same book minus the delux page and the box.
I did ask a specialist book dealer and he didn't know much, only that to his knowledge they were given out in large quantities to schools for the funeral. If that was the case, I would have thought a few more would have survived and more information would be out there.
If you do come across anything in future, do let me know!
Thanks again.
Regards
Amanda
