Presidents and Their Books
A richly illustrated look at the book collections of all 46 American presidents to date--and what we can learn from them about their owners. With a few exceptions, American presidents have been readers. This book surveys an outstanding collection by Susan Jaffe Tane that encompasses books every US president owned and collected as a part of their personal libraries, as well as books they wrote. From a 1793 Memoir of a Map of Hindoostan that once belonged to George Washington, to Promise me, Dad, a 2017 memoir by Joe Biden, these books provide an intimate glimpse into the lives of our presidents and offer insight into their private personalities and, consequently, their political personae.

What Natalie said was often a code for what Natalia was meaning." Ranging in setting from England to Central Africa, the novel is a remarkable investigation of ethics, with fiction itself as an ethical activity.
