I am a collector of Royal books worldwide

The writer of the book The Braganzas, "The Rise & Fall of the Ruling Dynasties of Portugal & Brazil 1640-1910" is written by Malyn Newitt.
The other Portuguese royal book is "Tropical Versailles, Empire, Monarchy and the Portuguese Royal Court in Rio Janeiro 1808-1821" by Kirsten Schultz & "Maria Pia, Queen of Portugal" by Sabrina Pollock.

Just a historical & very unusual picture book, with facts about Royal banquets through history of royal houses of Europe & Presidential official banquets of presidents & prime ministers of the USA & The UK & the occasional Maharajah.
The title is "Eating with Emperors, Kings, Queens..... and the occasional Maharajah" . I read it years ago & its very entertaining (by The Miegunyah Press), also a look behind the scenes in the royal & presidential kitchens about the food preparations etc etc.

I like to know if anybody knows about that little "bible" Almanach de Gotha, I bought one
BUT it is very expensive and I stopped buying it, is anybody buying it regularly? And let's discuss it, I hope it is worth talking about it?

I am focused on historical events of royal families and not of younger generation royals in current affairs, that is the reason for the many books I have read through the years and collected.

I received a beautiful biography book, the title is "Queen Victoria's Granddaughters 1860-1918"
Anybody read it or interested??

There is a book out /bio of Queen Letizia of Spain, title is in Spanish "La Reina Impaciente" in English is "The Impatient Queen" by Leonardo Faccio (2020), and I read from the Daily Mail of Queen Letizia of Spain and the headline is "The Inside Story of an Obsessive Queen" 18/5/23. I read the Daily Mail story and it is not really flattering in my opinion, like I said this is my opinion.
