This book arrived quickly and in good condition. I had watched this series on tv years ago and was pleased to read all about it again. This book reveals the problems maids, butlers and cooks have with likes and dislikes of the various first ladies. A good read.

The book flowed as Lillian moved from child to woman. Her interaction with her mother and later at the White House with the Presidents and their families was insightful.

For history buffs, this is a good book. The television series made from the book was even better. I have read and watched both many times and learn something different each viewing. Would recommend.

FICTION VERSION OF ACTUAL EVENTS!!. This was NOT clearly stated--I only saw it after it was delivered--very tiny print on the picture of the book cover, & far down on the item description. VERY disapponted, but I got what I ordered.

I liked that it arrived in a timely manner. The book was in really poor condition. The book was not worth $1.00 much less the more than 10.00 I paid for it. 25cent yard sale books are in better condition.

I would recommend this to anyone who likes history interspersed in a novel. A fascinating glimpse of American life between Taft and Eisenhower.
