Summary: The book of the blood
Review: This is the ultimate power register of the ruling classes. Simply, this book charts the ruling Royal and Princely houses of Europe. Traditionally considered the last word in matters of succession, protocol, and marriage. Known for it's accuracy and the publisher's inability to be bribed or pressured in matters of inclusion or exclusion. The rock against which pretenders are wrecked.

Not for the nouveau riche.
