I’ve totally been geeking out about the White House lately. So the other day I went to Barnes and Noble and bought myself a birthday/holiday/whatever present: The President’s House, by William Seale. It’s a two-volume work about the history of the White House and the people who have lived there. It’s more than 1200 pages long and comes in a box that holds both volumes. And it’s utterly fascinating.

And detailed. John Adams, the first president to occupy the White House, doesn’t even move in until page 79.

So I am in total White House Geek heaven.
