I can't think of any La Tene 'picture books' off the top of my head, but I would suggest to your mother-in-law that she takes care if seeking archaeological books on Amazon at the moment.
There seems to be a 'flowering' of persons putting their undergraduate/post-graduate dissertations on Amazon (through various companies with names like Book llc). I wouldn't dis the content of any of these per se, but just urge caution. You might be getting little more than a photo-copy through the post at some vastly inflated price. A colleague of mine who has his Masters dissertation on one of these sites was surprised to see it 'selling' for ?46....or ?65 secondhand....even more suprising since he hasn't had any buyers of an original copy yet, let alone a secondhand one!!

With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
