Published by Heritage Malta. Nicely produced, informative & full colour. Omission of country of residence of grantees & registrants unfortunate. No reference to heraldic artists. Section 7 'Holders of Hereditary Honours' likely to give rise to much debate as Malta is a republic. Price €45.00 + P+P.
