As Gilbert's site says that the book is sold out, does anyone know any other sites where it is available?

I too hope that this is still in the works--I'll wait as long as it takes for Bob to write the book. I know it will be completely worth the wait in the end.

« on: January 01, 2007, 11:23:05 PM »Which link Ortino? This one from the bottom of the review:\
http://ball.russianantique.com/
is in English. The book is in English -- and my review is certainly in English. I'm confuzzed...
The link you posted is, as you stated, in English. When you click on the BUY NOW option however, the next part is completely in Russian:

I would still love to buy this book, but the fact that I can't read Russian presents a real obstacle. I wish that the link had an english counterpart.

But have the grand princes faded from the scene?

There's a copy available on Abebooks for $50, which is about 26 pounds. Surely that's a better price than 50 pounds.

Books about the Romanovs and Imperial Russia / Re: Jewels of the Tsars : The Romanoffs and Imperial R
« on: October 29, 2006, 09:55:35 AM »
Mine came in the mail yesterday. The pictures of the jewels are quite lovely and most of the portraits were new to me. I don't know how this version compares to the other book produced by Prince Michael since I've never seen it, but I certainly enjoyed this one.

Nicholas II / Re: Nicholas II - Head of the Romanovs and Family Man
« on: October 20, 2006, 04:26:18 PM »I have read-- though in only one source-- that Alexander III suffered from the "secret" family disease, alcoholism. If true, this could explain his relatively early death and may have meant that he was not able to offer much emotional support to his family. Nicky may never have received much of an education in being a ruler if Alexander III were an absentee father. If he were an absentee husband as well, Marie Fedorovna may have found her relationships with her children to be the only reliable
ones she had. Hence her difficulty in "turning" Nicholas over to Alix after their marriage.
Alexander III died of nephritis, or inflammation of the kidney. The two most common causes are infection or auto-immune process. Where exactly did you read about alcoholism?

Films and TV shows about the Romanovs and Imperial Russia / Re: Anastasia Cartoon circa 1995
« on: October 16, 2006, 11:27:07 AM »Quote
The problems are much more subtle with N & A. Much of the history is true, but then there is the matter of including Stolypin in the 300th anniversary celebrations, when the man had actually been dead for 2 years I believe. I did have the impression that there were attempts for accuracy and certainly there was far less utter fantasy.
So I gather then that Tatiana revealing herself to a soldier and going on about how lovely she is was not pure fantasy? If anything, I would call that the ultimate insult to the grand duchesses.

I received my copy in the mail today and it's such a lovely book. The borders are incredible! I highly recommend everyone trying to get one or at least looking at it.
