Hi, ya'll, me again, the pesky question asker. (Should add that to my name). Anyhow, my dad wants books by any of the Presidents, (probably the notable ones). Written by said Presidents, like their journals or something. Being the type to avoid such things I don't have a clue what I'm after.  But my dad really likes that stuff (such contrasts between us) and I promised I'd look for some for him. So, I was wondering if you helpful people could save my life and suggest a few good titles? PLEASE? My life depends upon you!
Ok, its not THAT bad, but close. **Gives big, hopeful sweet smile**
yeah, like I could ever be sweet.

Hmm, I am lazy and don't really know too much about the subject of presidential autobiographies. The only recent president that I know who actually wrote one was Bill Clinton. As far as I know, the other living presidents presidential historians wrote their life histories. The quickest and easiest way to get your answer is to contact your local public library because I am sure that the information desk staff could answer that sort of question for you.

**wrinkles nose up** I can't do that. All the local librariens are evil, and I mean evil. You haven't met them. They're scary old ... ladies. 
But, they don't have to be recent. Actually he seems to prefer the older ones, but like I said, anything would do. Any journal by any well known president that is at least somewhat good.
But thanks, sindohte!

This may help. Try a used book seller. Half Price Books in the WA State area and maybe others....When in doubt ask Borders or Barnes and Noble to order for you.

Amazon is a great place to start as is Barnes and Noble. Barnes and Noble tends to carry more books that Amazon doesn't, but then you can find older used books at Amazon.com.
Most Presidents have autobiographical(sp) books written either by them or co-authered with someone. The better known ones FDR, Kennedy, Nixon, and Regan all have great books.
Good luck with your search. |
