Rec.heraldry readers might be interested in the recently published
book "Secret Places, Hidden Sanctuaries", written by Stephen Klimczuk
and Gerald Warner of Craigenmaddie. This book has already received
positive reviews in the US (most recently in The American Spectator)
and is about to be launched in the UK.

Sensible, informative and entertaining, Secret Places, Hidden
Sanctuaries is essential reading for anyone interested in orders of
knighthood, sacred sites, monarchist/royal trivia, masonry,
gentlemens' clubs, elite university dining societies and fraternities
(Bullingdon, Skull & Bones etc.), private banks, sinister and secret
locations (Area 51 and Wewelsburg Castle, spiritual home of the Nazi
SS) etc.etc. No other popular book covers such a wealth of material
and such depth of knowledge.

Monarchists/Heraldry enthusiasts will enjoy the broad selection of
royal/ceremonial topics, ranging from the story of the Holy Crown of
St. Stephen of Hungary, to the Holy Ampoule of the Kings of France to
the amazing tales of the Canadian travels of the British and Polish
Crown Jewels (the former unconfirmed).

Please visit their site (and related blog) for more information:

Others have attempted to tackle this subject but no one commands the
broad field with as much authority, knowledge or style. Through this
entertaining and informative tome we are provided with privileged
armchair admission through some of the world's most closely-guarded
doors.

I heartily recommend this book.
