Best book or album with photos and portraits of the Romanovs?

[Ortino]

I've just bought The Private World of the Last Tsar for $20 (which I suspect is a good price) so I'm excited to see its contents!

As for good photo books, I'd say Nicholas and Alexandra: the Family Albums by Prince Michael of Greece is the best that I've seen in terms of interesting and new content. Kurth's Tsar is also quite good. I've heard that The Camera and the Tsars is nice as well, but I've never quite gotten around to buying it. I might just do that one day soon...

Romanov photo books are actually some of my favorite Romannov books. Is that true of anyone else? And I am appreciate it when anyone posts photos, because there is so much I haven't seen, and the Romanovs do speak through their photos.

I completely agree! Little by little I am building my collection of books and with each one comes photos, but the IF took so many that it's always wonderful to see something new.

Very, very good price!

Oh gosh, eventually she'll have seen every photo, won't she?

I hope so! But I think Lanie's still got me beat in that regard.

One does kind of wonder where Lanie sees all these pictures...lol

The Romanov Legacy? What's in there?

Nicholas and Alexandra: the Family Albums is pretty good, but hardly worth the $105 I paid for it. I like Camera and the Tsars better.

I really liked the family albums, although I have only seen it from the library. I have never seen the other one, but I am going to buy it soon.

Just a heads up for anyone wanting to buy photo albums- there are a couple going cheaply on UK amazon used at the moment.  Sadly I cannot afford to buy them myself, but I'm not so mean as to deny others the chance.

Tsar: Lost World of Nicholas and Alexandra is going for £20.73 ($36)

And The Private World of the Last Tsar is going for just £15 ($26)

Don't miss out!

The book, "The Story of the Royal Family" is a good photo book. About 85% of the book is pictures of the British royals from Queen Victoria to Queen Elizabeth II. There is a good quality image of the famous 1896 photo of Nicholas, Alexandra, GD Olga, Bertie & Queen Victoria at Balmoral (although they do misidentify Olga as Tatiana)

[Margarita Markovna]

Are you serious? They say an 1896 photo is Tatiana? That's too funny.

Thank you everyone for the suggestion and information.

You're lucky you have UK amazon.. I live in the US,and things are more expensive here.

[Ra-Ra-Rasputin]

Imperial Angel, most if not all sellers on UK amazon are happy, for an additional charge, to ship to the US.

If you are interested in something, it's worth asking.  Also, a lot of the used stuff on amazon is shipped from America to England, so you might end up saving even more money in ordering from UK amazon.

Worth a try, anyway.
