Hey friends,
As a supplement to maintaining the
APTM Book Finder, I've decided to upload interior snapshots of Romanov photo albums into my photobucket account, so people can get an idea of what a book is like before purchasing. This will be a chance for you to flip through a few virtual pages before investing in a book, and hopefully avoid disappointment.
To preserve the authors' copyright, I will post perhaps half a dozen spreads from each book, and they will probably be of medium quailty -- I'm using Mac Photobooth, not a scanner. Here's an example from Charlotte Zeepvat's
Camera and the Tsars:
My goal is to give you a feel for the balance of text and photos, and also a sense of who is featured, whether the photos are formal or informal, common or rare.
This is an online version of my personal Romanov library:
http://www.librarything.com/catalog/sarahelizabethii&tag=RomanovIf there is a photo album in my collection you would like to see a preview of, please leave a request here. If a book is primarily text, not photos, I will not post a preview.
When I have a few books' worth of previews uploaded, I'll post a link to my photobucket account and the guest password.
