[Genealib] Fw: Books on European Royal and Noble Genealogy -at discount rates for libraries

Thu Feb 19 09:42:52 EST 2009

Does anyone on the list actually own these volumes?  If so, what do you think?

Also, I'm a bit confused about the price.  The announcement says "all volumes are priced equally."  If you go to the website each volume is L38.  With a conversion rate of about 1.5 these days that equals approximately $57 per volume.

If you look at the US$ pricing on the announcement, are they saying the total is $889.42 for all 18 volumes?

Thanks.

EUROPEAN ROYAL AND NOBLE GENEALOGY IN FULL DETAIL - An essential for genealogical researchers.

THE ROYAL HOUSES OF EUROPE

This series of books provide a full royal genealogy laid out in inter-connecting royal family trees of the Royal Houses of Europe.

They include the British Royal House, now the House of Windsor, descended from Queen Victoria, and the dynasties of Hanover and Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.  The dynasties of Hohenzollern, Romanov, Habsburg, Bonaparte and Bourbon have separate books on each, together with the Monarchies of Scandinavia, the Benelux, Iberia, Italy and the Balkans.  In all cases the full descent is shown, extending to noble and commoner families, including in the U.S.A.

They are essential tools for Genealogists, particularly in researching their European ancestry.
