Who Voted for the Hologram?: A Gruff Guidebook to the Presidential Libraries (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781794638914)

Every year, hundreds of thousands of tourists visit the official presidential libraries and museums that are scattered across the U.S. From coconuts to cowboy hats, sailboats to sphinxes, and highchairs to holograms, these places contain odd mementos and priceless artifacts from all of the presidents since Herbert Hoover. This book takes us on a humorous adventure through the thirteen museums, with unusual anecdotes and opinionated commentary at every stop.
The lives of the presidents offer us many inspiring stories that are told here. One of our commanders-in-chief won a battle against an ancient tribal curse, while another lost a battle with a golf course tree. One president gave a piano to another, but then forced him to listen to a song that he hated. Read about the cannon-firing first lady, the joke-telling presidential robot, and the well-groomed chief executive whose hair caused a national scandal.
If you are serious about history and politics, prepare to be mildly offended. Otherwise, have a seat and enjoy a vicarious trip to the museums. You might as well, since your taxes helped pay for them.
This book includes: Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush. Bonus material briefly covers other presidential sites and the upcoming Barack Obama museum.
