Review # 1 was written on 2020-04-18 00:00:00 Marko Vizaniaris For a thrift store find, this book was worth its price, the first of its kind to grace my shelves. But it stopped very short of meeting my expectations, serving as a history of the White House much more than an actual tour of the place. I tend to be put off by the poor editing in books of this nature, but they are, after all, about the pictures and not the words. I also turned to a nonexistent bibliography to find the source of an unusual claim that I had never heard before. The tour of rooms comprised only the last few pages, and it was mostly old photos of rooms a person sees on the public White House tours. For someone who has been fortunate enough to take that tour, it does not offer very much. Published less than a year after 9/11, this book likely filled a need and served its time well. But in this digital age, I am sure more exciting, cleanly edited, and sourced information can be found online.
