It is always a delight to read one of Bob Hope's books. Whether it is about his time working for the USA entertaining the troops or dealing with our Presidents. This one was great and covers every President of the United States from Franklin Roosevelt to Bill Clinton. The jokes are still good.

Bob Hope, King of jokes. A nice walk through his presidential joking.

Sometimes when I'm reading a few challenging books (I usually have 3-4 books going at a time) I find it necessary to have a simple little throwaway book when I have to think some things through. This book did a very good job of allowing for that.
