Interesting

I bought this as a gift for my grandmother. She really liked it. I didn't get a chance to read through the whole thing but it's a very thick hardcover book. Lots of pictures and lots of information and facts about his life. Great tribute! These types of books are always pricey but the pictures are worth it!
