United States Presidents series.
In two series books, first chapters introduce the featured president by highlighting a significant event, subsequent chapters offer a comprehensive, chronological biography. Scant white space, abundant text, and flat black-and-white photos present a challenge, but report-driven readers may find useful information. A timeline is included. Bib., ind.

Reproductions and "source documents" illustrate the text. A time line is included. Bib., ind.
