Gilded Prism:The Konstantinovichi Grand Dukes...
« on: June 03, 2006, 04:42:18 PM »
Dear Friends,
OUR Newest Book: Gilded Prism: the Konstantinovichi Grand Dukes & the Last Years of the Romanov Dynasty – (authored by Greg King and Penny Wilson) is now printing...I will keep my fingers crossed and hope that they have some copies within a week! We officially begin shipping copies on June 15!

GILDED PRISM brings to life the story of the Konstantinovich line of the Russian Imperial Family, beginning with Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolaievich (1827-1892) and following the lives of his six children (Nicholas Konstantinovich, Queen Olga of Greece, Vera of Württemberg, Konstantin Konstantinovich (the famed KR), Dimitri Konstantinovich and Vyacheslav Konstantinovich) and many of this grandchildren and great-grandchildren. It is simply one of the best books I have read in quite some time and am deeply honored to be the one bringing it to life!

The book includes:

A) 251 pages (including Index) + Introduction and Acknowledgments

B) 3 photo sections, with 81 images divided in 3 sections

C) 5 Family trees:

1- The Russian Imperial Family
2- The Konstantinovichi Line of the Russian Imperial Family
3- The Descendants of Grand Duchess Olga Konstantinovna
4- The Descendants of Grand Duchess Vera Konstantinovna
5- The Ducal House of Saxe-Altenburg (showing its double connection to the Konstantinovichi)


What next? I am attaching the front cover and hoping that you are as excited about this as am I for it is an honor for us at Eurohistory to have been asked by Mr. King and Ms. Wilson to bring this book to print!

If you'd like to order a copy email me. The book sells for $40.00 plus shipping ($7.00 in the USA – $13.00 Overseas, and we do ship worldwide!).

GILDED PRISM will be a marvelous addition to your personal library!

Penny, I want you to know that when I had lunch with Art, Ilana and our spouses  a few weeks ago, he made a point of not telling us that he was bringing out yours and Greg's new book. So, I placed what I believe was one of the first orders for your book without knowing the title, its authors, or anything, other than the fact that it was a new book on the Romanovs! I was so excited when he finally spilled the info in his recent email.

Congrats and I can't wait to read it!

Lisa

Yes Lisa...it was terribly difficult not to open up and share with you guys how excited I am about this book, but a promise is a promise!  :-[

However, now the cat is out of the hat!   ;)

Kisses,

Art

PS: It was a lovely lunch was it not...
