It is most unusual to find an English binding of this date with morocco doublures; it is also uncommon to find such a binding on a commonplace book. As well as a listing of the nobility, there are notes pertaining to fees due to peers, grants and privileges, the order of dignatories at festivals, lists of Knights of the Garter and foreign princes, and a description of two paintings of Henry VII (including one in the Privy Gallery at Whitehall). It seems probable from Howard Nixon's research that Queens' Binder A is William Nott. Nott was an important figure in the book trade, as a bookseller, stationer and publisher, as well as binder. Samuel Pepys called him "the famous bookbinder" and visited his workshop in 1668: "I did take occasion for curiosity to bespeak a book to be bound, only that I might have one of his binding". (cf. Howard Nixon, Five Centruies of English Bookbinding, 1979) (1)
