With 1,000 pages and a 7,000-name index listing in-laws and family members alike, this 187th edition is fully updated with latest births, marriages, deaths and addresses of the living members of the two hundred royal and princely sovereign houses of Europe, offering the most comprehensive guide to the histories, lineage and biographical background of each member of each Royal House. A new Diplomatic section lists national statistics, governments and government members and election statistics for each country of the reigning and formerly reigning families in Europe, the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. The Gotha, now in English, follows the original format as published annually from 1763, and is set in the customary 1930's Gotha typeface and bound in the traditional red cloth.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The main source for royal and noble names,
By Martina Altenburg (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Almanach de Gotha I: 2004: i. Genealogies of the Sovereign Houses of Europe and South America, ii. Genealogies of the Mediatized Princes and Princely Counts of Europe and the Holy Roman Empire (Hardcover)
Over the decades, this has been the respected source. This is considered trusted by top blue bloods, including the sovereign Queens and Kings. It is presided by the King of Spain, H.M. Juan Carlos. Simple format that lists the orders each person belongs to, their occupations and other things. There are two sources of information on who is noble: The Gotha and the Handbuch des Adels. Stay to these books and you'll be ok.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The book of the blood,
By OAKSHAMAN "oakshaman" (Algoma, WI United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Almanach de Gotha I: 2004: i. Genealogies of the Sovereign Houses of Europe and South America, ii. Genealogies of the Mediatized Princes and Princely Counts of Europe and the Holy Roman Empire (Hardcover)
_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.
