Linda Porter has a new book out this month as well, this time about Mary Queen of Scots. The release date is August 15 in the UK and I have (so far) been unable to find info on a US release date.

Continuing exhibitions
* Shakespeare and London, an exhibition by the London Metropolitan Archives, opened in May and will run through September 26, 2013. One of the highlights of the exhibition is a 1613 deed signed by Shakespeare and is one of only six known examples of his signature. If you want to be sure to see that item, please check the website since it is only on display for some of the dates the exhibition runs.
* The exhibition In Fine Style: The Art of Tudor and Stuart Fashion opened in May and runs through October 6. More information is available at the Royal Collection website, which also includes an online gallery of exhibition highlights and a TEDx talk by the exhibition curator.
* The National Museum of Scotland’s exhibition on Mary Queen of Scots opened on June 28 and will run through November 17.
