Every presidential home and library open to the public is included. Homes and places are arranged by president, along with a short biography, a memorable quote, and a colour painting or photograph of the president. Following this personal look at each president are the places associated with him, (and in a few cases with his first lady) each with the address, telephone number, website address, hours of operation and a description of the place itself. Also included are maps. This is a travel book as well as a look at history from the perspective of the presidents' homes and what they tell us about each man and his family.
As someone who hopes to visit as many presidential sites as possible, this book has been extremely helpful! Especially helpful is the State index in the back. By using this index you are able to look up a state and see which presidential sites are located there. Would definitely recommend this book to anyone!
A must for those who enjoy Presidential history!

Complete info and details are given about Presidential homes and libraries.High quality photos and illustrations are used on high quality paper. Don't try to compare standard paperback books to this one! Glossy, coated paper is extensively used, and most photos are in color.
