The Complete Book of US Presidents: Third Edition Hardcover – June 2, 2020

My son is into history and loves reading about Presidents. I thought this was a super great price and when we received the book, it was beautiful and full of information, pictures, and a great read for my history buff son. I enjoyed reading through it as well! Great book to add to my collection.

There have been many factual books written about the Presidents, but I highly recommend this particular edition as besides facts (which are written in a easy-to-read size and format) there are pictures galore. Very interesting and appealing. Well worth an investment for anyone's personal library and information.

I've been an avid student of presidential history since I was in elementary school, still read everything I can to this day. Since our 11 year old grandson has been with us during this pandemic, I decided it was a perfect time to introduce him to the presidents. I ordered this and his assignment is minimum one hour reading a day so he can put down the electronic game controller once a day and do some real learning. This book has been perfect for that purpose and we spend a few minutes discussing each president over dinner. I'm so glad I can hand this interest down to him. The place we'll stop is after Obama. He already knows we have no interest in the current occupant of the White House. He was literally born the night Barack Obama was announced as our next president, we call him our "Obama baby"'. So very high marks to this book as a learning tool for your kids/grandkids or for you personally if you want some context before picking up more detailed writings on individual presidents. Happy journey, and stay healthy! 😊

Gave a copy to my grandson for a birthday gift. It is well layer out, informative. He was pleased. Gives him some great knowledge when he is debating!

This book is detailed and amazing! I got it for homeschooling my 4 year old and I’ve learned so much as well! Must have for the whole family.

my grandson loves this book ad loves to reread about the presidents very good info

“The Complete Book of US Presidents” is an oversize coffee table book that introduces readers to the 44 men who have served as our chief executives. Each section includes oval picture and the Official White House Portrait. Next to the oval is his name in cursive script, his years in office and political party. A few pages are devoted to a brief biography with sidebars for wives, vice-presidents and quotes from famous speeches, along with campaign posters, buttons and other photos, paintings and drawings. The length of each chapter varies with the importance of the subject.I did find some factual inaccuracies. Some may have been typos, such as that Vice-President Marshall died in 1925, not 1920, Gen. Grant commanded the Army of The Tennessee (Union, named after the river) rather than the Army of Tennessee (Confederate, named after the state) and that Jane Wyman voted for Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1988. Others are just errors, such as Monroe was in Paris negotiating the Louisiana Purchase, not Madison, Kennedy was not the only president assassinated in the Twentieth Century (remember McKinley) and, rather than being adjacent, the LBJ Ranch and the LBJ Library are about 64 miles apart.Those reservations aside, this is a delightful book. I enjoyed it page after page and picture after picture. Although I have read extensively about the presidents (obviously) I gained insights from this survey of our leaders. Author Bill Yenne has crafted a work that I will refer to in the future and assign it a seasonal turn on our coffee table.I did receive a free copy of this book in the hopes, but without the obligation, to post a review.

I bought this originally for a friend who expressed wanting a book about the presidents and ended up liking it so much that I bought a copy for myself.
