About meThis library catalogs books from the Truman home (Harry S Truman National Historic Site) in Independence, Missouri (http://www.nps.gov/hstr), from the by-author list published here: http://www.nps.gov/hstr/historyculture/truman-home-study-book-list.htm .

The National Park Service describes the collection as:

"The study contains over 1100 books, some of which were passed down in the Wallace and Truman families, and others that were collected by Harry and Bess Truman."

Because the NPS list contains no edition information, catalogers have picked whatever edition was close at hand.

"When asked by an editor of his memoirs if he liked to read himself to sleep at night, Mr. Truman answered, 'No, young man, I like to read myself awake.'" (http://www.nps.gov/hstr/historyculture/truman-home-study-book-list.htm)
