[00:00:00]One of the most fascinating signed presidential history books from the last decade came out of a Ken Burns documentary project.

[00:00:08]This first edition of The Roosevelts, >> [music] >> an intimate history, isn't just about Theodore, Franklin, and Eleanor Roosevelt. It's really about how one family shaped modern America across generations. [music] What makes this copy especially interesting is the signed publisher's bookplate from both Geoffrey Ward and Ken Burns.

[00:00:29]You can almost picture it sitting on the shelf of someone who followed the PBS [music] series when it first aired back in 2014.

[00:00:38]The book itself is packed with photographs, political drama, personal struggles, wartime leadership, and those smaller human moments collectors tend to appreciate most.

[00:00:50]If Roosevelt history or signed documentary-related books are [music] your thing, this one is currently available for sale.
