A positive legacy of the troubled Nixon administrationmdash;and one virtually unknown to the American publicmdash;is the extensive acquisition of valuable art and antiques for the White House and the redecoration of the executive mansion by Pat Nixon. With the help of an aggressive curator; Clement Conger; and a talented interior designer; Edward Vason Jones; the First Lady quietly erased much of the historic deacute;cor of Jacqueline Kennedyrsquo;s Camelot and introduced an academic look to the State Rooms which endures to this day. Nixon marked his presidential territory with a complete renovation of the West Wingmdash;a harbinger of the First Ladyrsquo;s plans. They implemented a massive fundraising campaign to bankroll the refurbishment; which resulted in one of the foremost collections of art; art objects; furniture; paintings and sculpture in America. This book presents the never before told story of the Nixonsrsquo; remodeling of the White House; motivated by the approaching American Bicentennial and a desire to restore respect to the presidency through the arts.

You get 14 very simple designs that you cannot color but are meant to be a preview of the real book. You also get a link to download the images from 12 other books. These are the same books that you get when you purchase a Kindle coloring book from Speedy Publishing.Fortunately the Jupiter Kids books do tend to always be free. However. once you have downloaded one book and access the download for the other 12 books. I see no reason to purchase any other Jupiter Kids book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
