Does anyone have a review of "Heraldic Sketchbook" by Peter Greenhill?

Steven,
Peter Greenhill’s book ‘Heraldic Sketchbook’ appears to have been published in 2010. I am not too sure of the original publication price, but e-bay.co.uk have at present several copies being offered for sale at prices being quoted from £120+ to £150+.
Certainly, as the Honorary Secretary of The Heraldry Society this is the first time I have heard of it. We certainly did not receive a copy for review.
With every good wish
John
You mean there’s money to be made by publishing hand-drawn rough sketches? If that’s the case I’ve got drawers full of that kind of discarded material and, apparently, I can get rich with it! Why would you want to purchase scribbled sketches?

Ah, Fr. Guy - “We are not rich by what we possess but by what we can do without.”
Hmm, I throw away my tissue roughs; ran out of space long ago.

Dear Father, your discarded scribbled sketches are the Mona Lisa compared to some of us.
Ever seen the kind of money in "rough sketches" by Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali? What you see as "junk, Good Father, we see as insight into the mind of an artist.
