Item description from seller

Butter yellow boards with maroon cloth spine. Gilt lettering on spine. Reddith dj with bw photo and blue lettering on spine. 191 pp. with bw photos throughout. Text in English. The only collection of photographs (over 200) of the Tsar and his family taken by a single individual, General Count Alexander Grabbe, father of editor Paul Grabbe. Count Grabbe was the military aide to Nicholas II and captured the last years of the Russian monarchy, with intimate photos of the Tsar and his family in informal settings. Grabbe served Nicholas until the day of the Tsar's abdication in March 1917. A poignant book from a personal point of view. (paraphrased from the dj). VG+ but with museum ex-lib. book plates inside front cover and pocket inside back; Dj is worn at edges and faded at spine, with lib. sticker on lower spine but still protective.

Current stock occupies over 2.3 miles of shelving. We are active buyers as well as very active sellers, and supply entire reference libraries as well as individual titles. We ship books almost everywhere, with the exception of China due to restrictions. Our website mullenbooks.com maintains our entire database of over 150,000 titles dynamically, so you can submit "wants" for books which are listed, but not currently in-stock. It is a major research tool. Despite what Google may indicate, we are only open to visitors by appointment, as our schedules are dynamic depending upon the needs of our valued employees.…
