Presidents and Their Books : What They Read & Wrote; From the Collection of Susan Jaffe Tane Hardback
by Natalie Flaxman, Spencer Flaxman, Susan Jaffe Tane
Hardback
- Information
Description
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.
