Addressing readers directly ("When you look at the White House..."), the author discusses the mansion's history, how the structure is used today, and who the people behind the scenes are. The book's format, filled with captioned photos of various shapes and sizes, suggests a magazine layout, and a gatefold illustration opens at the beginning of each chapter.
