Some of the books in my Presidential Library. I have more than 1500 on the individual presidents – and even more, when you add in the “ancillary subjects.”
More books about the Presidents of the United States.
It is, of course, always a work in progress, with more books being added and moved around all the time. What fun!
It is a large room: 20×20, and holds some 2500 books – and growing.
In more than forty years (impossible!!) of collecting Presidential and related books, I have come to have a deep and abiding love of those who have created our country, who have developed it, and who have gone before us with examples to emulate.
Books, books, more books, and all sorts of President-related “stuff” help make my library a place of delight – at least for me.
I hope you will love them as much as I do.
What a neat room. From the pictures it has the same look from the library in the Adams National Historical Park in Quincy.
The room is MUCH improved since I took those photos. I keep threatening to take more and post them, but I get so involved with other things!
Feather, my name is Paul Brandus. I’m a member of the White House press corps (bureau chief for West Wing Reports, and on Twitter as @WestWingReport). I love your blog. Really well done. My library is only about 1/5 the size of yours! I have my own book on the presidency coming out in September (“Under This Roof”) and would be honored if you reviewed it. May I send you a copy? Here it is: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/149300834X/ref=s9_simh_gw_p14_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=0JCVV18YSHPV15F74ZVS&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2079475242&pf_rd_i=desktop
Thank you. I’d also love to speak with you as well for a podcast I do on the presidency. Let’s set up a time for that?
Best,
Paul

I would love to send you three books about Theodore that I think you would enjoy. The first are non-fiction works based on Bulloch/Roosevelt family letters entitled “Mittie & Thee” and “Between the Wedding & the War.” The third is a children’s book, a time-travel adventure that includes an encounter with Theodore in Montana. You can learn more about each at my website: http://www.cmhuddleston.com I look forward to hearing from you,
Sincerely,
Connie M. Huddleston
