From the Dust jacket:

"There's a saying: "In the United States, any man can be President." And in our history over thirty men have been. Who they were, where they came from, what they looked like, what kind of people they were, what important things they did, what their lives were like—all that is here. But there's more! All sorts of fascinating information about their wives and children, their likes and dislikes—scores of little-known details, of colorful sidelights that show our Presidents as warm, exciting human beings—all that is in THE FIRST BOOK OF PRESIDENTS. There's even a section about men who were almost Presidents—and another that tells about the job itself, the rights and responsibilities of a President.

Written in Harold Coy's simple, appealing style and lavishly illustrated with Manning DeV. Lee's striking drawings, THE FIRST BOOK OF PRESIDENTS is a first-rate introduction to one of the most important jobs in the world—and to the great variety of men who have held it."
