Loftie WJ (c1902-3) The Coronation Book of Edward VII: King of all the Britains and Emperor of India. London: Cassell & Co LImited
Edit: my copy arrived today and is not the one I had in mind when I wrote the previous comments.
This book has a final chapter "The Ninth of August" so it is updated for the postponement of the coronation from 26 June to 9 August 1902.
So far I believe it is money well spent.
It is a beautifully bound volume with many colour plates - many being scanned now.
