The White House: An Historic Guide (26th Edition, Out of Print)

Since 1962, the celebrated spaces and rich history have been portrayed for the public in this continually updated guidebook, The White House: An Historic Guide. With this, the 26th edition, the Historic Guide, celebrates 60 years in print, and with it, the White House Historical Association celebrates its 60th year in publishing. It was First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy's wish that such a book be written, and her letter opened the first edition, the first project of the White House Historical Association. Among the rooms that are featured in the anniversary edition with new photography and updated text are the State Rooms, the West Wing, the Queens' Bedroom, Lincoln Bedroom, Center Hall, Yellow Oval Room, President's Dining Room, West Sitting Hall, Oval Office, West Wing Reception Room, and the Roosevelt Room. There are photographs of never-before-seen features from within some of these rooms including: the Presidential Seal on the ceiling of the Oval Office, the Gettysburg Address displayed in situ in the Lincoln Bedroom, and President Theodore Roosevelt's Nobel Prize Medal in the Roosevelt Room. This edition (26th edition) is now out of print. Paperback Size 7"W x 10"H; 250 pages Ships from a pet-free, smoke-free home.
