50TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION, PREFACE (LETTER) BY MICHELLE OBAMA, Published by White House Historical Association, 2011, softcover, illustrated, index, 239 pages, condition; as new.
Since 1962, the celebrated spaces and rich history of the Presidents House have been portrayed in this continually updated guidebook. This edition celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the books release with a new design, updated text, and new photography. The State Floor, Ground Floor, Second Floor, and West Wing are presented with richly illustrated historical text. For the first time, the guide offers a walking tour of the exterior, with a key to its architectural elements and grounds. Now visitors viewing the White House from the streets of Washington, D.C.and armchair tourists at homecan experience an intimate tour of the house.
This book is an official tour guide to the Executive Mansion. The edition I read is from 1963 the Kennedy administration (I have previously read the 1987 version. The Reagan administration. I had purchased that one at the White House in 1989) this copy I found at a library book sale. It's fascinating to see the changes each family and administration does to the mansion. I've found out there are over 15 different versions of this guide. I'd love to read them all. White House history and stories of the Presidents and their families have always fascinated me.
