	Recently published: "Orders of Luxembourg - Lion at the Crossroads". Excellent reference volume in English by Antti Ruokonen, young yet gifted writer in the realm of Phaleristics. In a field where subpar publications are all too common, Ruokonen's book is exceptionally well-researched and illustrated, offering a comprehensive analysis of the Luxembourgish system of orders. Contains a brief yet concise history, bios of important recipients, documents, statistics, and numerous photographs of insignia (many have been unpublished to date). Antti Ruokonen is quickly becoming an important writer in the genre. His first book ('Orders of Romania') is perhaps the best volume of its kind in English. His second work, the 'Orders of Belgium' is simply unmatched in its depth and contents. This current volume is no different. Superb work!! We were privileged to again collaborate with the author in the process. Examples of pages (there are 205 large format pages in the book).
