Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Ok, but disappointed Comment: The book was nothing of what I expected,own fault. I guess I was expecting manymore photographs of the various High Society familys.Instead I received a book of small blurbs, almost telephone book-ish, about the familys. THere are about 20 or so families pictured witha few small collections of pictures. Would work for a reference book I suppose. More Reviews
