As I am very interested in the decendents of emperor Nicholas I of Russia, I wondered if there are any books about the minor romanovs, like the vladimirovitch, michailovitch etc.

If you read German, I strongly recommend "Am Hof des letzten Zaren 1896-1919" - the memoirs of Prince Roman Romanoff, great-grandson of Nicholas I. This fat book was originally published in Danish ("Det var et rigt hus, et lykkeligt hus") and contains a lot of info on the Nikolaievitches and other Romanovs.
Is that the same branch Nichailoviches as Alberto mentioned in his message about the Grand Duke who stole his mothers jewels??

No, the light-fingered Nicholas Constantinovitch in Alberto's message was a son of Grand Duke Constantine, himself a son of Tsar Nicholas I.
Roman Romanoff was a grandson of Constantine's brother Grand Duke Nicholas (1831-1891) - and the latter's family is called the Nicholaievitch branch.
