Nice collection of books. Which one would you suggest that covers all the awards, not just the badges, and preferable in english. Thanks

Out of curiosity, would he be of the same family as the late Tsar Nicholas II? Another great place to find Russian books is at this website: http://www.uuu.ru. Use a translation service. They have tons of books and they speak english. I have ordered from them in the past.

Old thread, but anyway..

George,

you seem to have that Tillander-Godenhjelm book I've been planning to buy. Is it good? At least on the promotional web-site it looks very interesting.

Impressive selection of references..... as with all these things, collector interest and they will print it!

Thanks, George. I went and bought the book. Not much of a picture reference (on details, otherwise the pictures look good), but the text seems to be very extensive and intresting. Looks like money well spent.
