Until my Canadian Romanov-buddy comes visiting, this uber-rare little honey is in my care:
[Last Days of the Court at Tsarskoye Selo]
by Alexandre Spiridovitch
It's volume one of a memoir by Nicholas II's personal chief of security, and it looks, feels, and smells exactly the way an 81-year-old book should. I can't read French, but who cares -- it's got pictures. Pictures I've never seen. Keep your fingers crossed that the University of Michigan will be willing to lend volume two. If that request comes through in time for me to have both volumes under the same roof at once, I'll be bookswooning all over the place.

ps: News on the Grandpa front is improving. All those prayers, thoughts, and vibes are getting the job done, thank you very much.
