On Presidents Day, February 16, we released our long- anticipated guide to historical documents and autographs, In the Presence of History. 

This 178-page book instructs the reader how to determine quality and value, what to seek out and buy, and methods to authenticate autographs.  It also contains the most comprehensive full color study of the documents of the U.S. Presidents ever published, with hundreds of illustrations.

We have poured into this work a passion that extends back more than three decades and the experience that comes with having handled some of our nation’s more important documents.

•  The most comprehensive color study of the letters and documents of U.S. Presidents ever published
