His Majesty the King: Black and white photographic illustrations, single colour photographic spread, profuse advertisements, 85pp. Leaves evenly browned and creased horizontally throughout, a good copy. Together with an unpaginated (approximately 60 page) Thai-language photobook of the then-Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn, dating from circa 1976, with advertisements.

Filled with advertisements expressing birthday wishes for His Majesty, along with glowing articles detailing his life up to that point, this supplement offers a captivating glimpse into the cult of personality surrounding the Thai monarchy.
