The first book I found was Familia Regala o Historie in imagini (The Royal Famiy in History and images), which was published by Editura Cetaatea de Scaun in 2009. This book was the companion volume to an exhibition at the National Museum of Romanian History in Bucharest.
The text is in Romanian. The book has 168 pages, and includes an exellent array of photographs of the royal family, beginning with Carol I and Elisabeth, followed by Ferdinand and Marie, Michael, Carol and Helen, Michael and Anne and their children. The exhibition also included images of Ferdinand and Marie's younger children, Elisabeth, Marie, Nicolas, Ileana and Mircea.
I bought the book at an open air market in Bucharest's Old Town. The cost was 40 Ron (about $13.00). However, the book is still available from the publisher.

It was at Humanitas, one of Bucharest's better known bookstores, where I found Coroana română - la 140 de ani, which was published in 2008 by Curtea Veche. The text of this book was written by Crown Princess Margarita and Prince Radu. The book celebrated the 140th anniversary of the Romanian monarchy, beginning with the succession of Carol I, who was born a prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen.
The majority of photographs in this book come from the Royal Family's private collection, and includes all members of the Royal Family, including King Michael and his family. An excellent compilation of historical and modern images, Romanian text.
