Dr. H. Viscount Nelson, Jr., a Historian and Author on African-American Culture at UCLA, said, "Excellent. This book is riveting; impossible to put down." It is categorized as "juvenile literature" but no reading level is cited in the book; my assessment would be that it's of middle school level, but especially comprehensive and it would certainly not insult the intelligence of an adult reader at all. From the Library of Congress Publication Data: "A biography that describes the love of books and learning as well as the personal life and political career of the third president of the United States." The book's dimensions are approximately 9" x 7" x 3/8". It is complete with footnotes, index, and bibliography. There are black and white photographs and illustrations throughout, largely reproduced through the courtesy of the National Archives. I find this book to be engaging reading for both enjoyment and historical research.
