Time Magazine has produced a gem of a book in this special commemorative edition on President Barack Obama's election campaign. I'm reviewing the paperback edition, which is essentially the same except the covers look different.
The stories included are ones that have been published by Time over the months. They have, however, been given a change in title. The stories look not just at the campaign itself, but also at the life of Obama. Every piece is a wonderful read, quality as one w...more

Wonderful photos, memorabilia, and reflects on the candidacy. I will have to get this historical autobiography on President Obama, trail through winning nomination, family life, and becoming our next President. It also reminds me when I worked on the Obama campaign, during and aftermath, and how it still unites some of us that volunteered and worked on the Democratic Party...involved in Change Milwaukee and now Organizing for America (OFA).

My kingdom for a good book--any kind of book--about Barack Obama by someone other than Barack Obama. Good LORD. I feel like Dreams from my Father and The Audacity of Hope are the only decent books that have been written about our new president. The time book of campaign photos is as vapid and superficial as it gets.

My lovely friend Denise gave me this scrumptious thing, which is a pleasure to take to bed each night :) .

This was a Christmas present and I'm really enjoying it! The photographs are wonderful and it's a great portrait of a very historic election.

Neat pictures. Fluffy articles. Obama's big head on the cover. No complaints.
