The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
Miss Cavanah has a faculty for unearthing unusual material and retelling it admirably. This is no exception. Some of the stories are familiar, but for the most part, they have a freshness in the telling that gives them all new interest. They make the presidents more real than any stereotyped account of their careers could do.
