Fascinating look at presidential trivia

The Presidential Book of Lists hearkens back to a time when many publishers released trivia books in the form of factual lists. The book presents information about the United States presidents in a variety of lists, allowing the reader to appreciate the role of the chief executive of the country in a new light. One section of the book is devoted to the "average" president, in which the author lays out those traits that presidents have mostly had in common over the 200+ years of the USA. Trivia buffs and people interested in politics and history will return to this book time and again to learn something new.
