Gorgeous.

There are no other words to describe this book. The photographs - from the last Tsar and his family in the 1900s and from Russia today - are breathtaking. No one can see them without wanting to visit Russia! And lots of family pictures have only been published in this book.

The text is fine - this was one of the first books I read about the Romanovs, so had a lot of great, easy to read information (apart from the conspiracy theories, Peter Kurth believed in Anna Anderson until he passed away - which was after the "dubious" DNA testing and before all the bodies of the children were recovered), but nothing in depth.

Highly recommended!
