Reviews
Christian A. Nappo follows up his popular reference The Librarians of Congress with an equally useful handbook describing the histories and collections of the US presidential libraries. Nappo successfully captures the unique background of the man whose memory is preserved by each library and offers insights into how that personal history continues to guide the library's unique mission. Younger readers especially will find these brief entries to be accessible, instructive, and above all helpful in understanding the broader mission of all presidential libraries. -- James M. Donovan, director and James and Mary Lassiter Associate Professor of Law, University of Kentucky College of Law Library
A great resource on presidential libraries and museums. I highly recommend this work for scholars and students. -- Aisha M. Johnson-Jones, supervisory archivist, Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum
