About This Book
In the early 1990s Windsor Castle was devastated by fire. In this book Nicolson charts the years since the fire through to the final rebuilding, including dealing with the fire, the finances of restoring the Castle and the decisions on whether simply to restore or make changes. Head Bookbinder Richard Day’s swan song to mark his retirement from the Royal Bindery. It displays both his skills as a bookbinder, and his membership of the Royal Household Fire Brigade, in which capacity he was one of the first firemen on the scene of the Windsor Castle fire in 1992. This aspect of his life is celebrated both on the outer boards and on the doublures.
