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. Â
