The White House: An Historic Guide was created in 1962 as the first project of the White House Historical Association, inspired by Jacqueline Kennedy's desire for a guide similar to those at great museums. This book is an original 1962 copy and includes a signed letter from Mrs. Kennedy. It offers a room-by-room tour of the White House, detailing its history, architecture, art, and the stories of the presidents and first families who have lived there, serving as both an educational tool and a souvenir. The guide is updated with each new administration, featuring new photographs and behind-the-scenes. Millions of copies have been sold.Collection
