I checked this book out of the library and am glad I did! Osgood makes fun of both sides (Republican and Democrat) equally - you can't detect any personal bias.
This is just what I wanted, in the condition stated, and delivered in a timely manner. I would recommend this vendor and its products.
Charles Osgood compiled amusing anecdotes from Presidential candidates covering Truman/Dewey to Bush/Kerry. Light but entertaining.
