Fun little book that gives a brief bio on each president and then a section of quotes from each president - some memorable or famous and some just to indicate their views and opinions on various topics from national politics to other presidents. The version I bought was pretty old and only went to Bill Clinton - hopefully they have updated since then as it was very enjoyable!
