Great conversation starter!

All of a sudden I care more about presidents. Adorable and sweet and funny and poignant. You should buy multiples, esp for young impressionable minds as a tool to start thinking more critical of history.

The Banana of New Orleans seal of approval

When th MZA first showed me this light, capricious tome of US presidential lore, I immediately knew it was destined for the greatness it has achieved. Not since the heady days of World War II, when FDR had millions of chapbooks declaring all presidents before him to be, in his words, "pure bunk,"* has a collection of pithy and elucidating status updates been so endearingly revolutionary in driving the American and world public's view of our Commanders-in-Brief. What this illustrated book conveys is an active look at the legacies of our 44 illustrious figureheads, a present tense interaction with each of them in the vernacular of our Internet zeitgeist. Truly, th MZA and Miss Sputnik were guided by the Golden Apple in the creative processes that lead to our world being graced with this book. I can only hope you can overcome your inherent unworthiness and buy this book anyway, for it is the path to true and complete understanding of the history of the United States. * This might be completely made up, but the gist of this review still stands.

Wonderful

Hilarious, thoughtful, indefinable, and highly enjoyable. I read this book in mini-comic/zine form and now in hardcover it loses none of its charm. Every time I see it I pick it up again to re-read my favorite parts. I adore this book.
