I have been searching for an item which would capture Obama's life and it has just been very difficult. There has been so many that claim to, but you just don't get the feeling that it does.
I happened up on this collector's vault in a Barnes & Noble store, and immediately knew that this was what I was looking for. After going through a few pages, I got so excited that I didn't want to put it down.
The cost was $49.99, but I decided to see if I can get it for less. But if you're looking for a collector's item that captures everything, this is it. The children will have fun looking at all the buttons, stickers, pictures and all the fun Obama stuff located in the pockets on the pages. The book itself comes in a case, and the whole presentation is absolutely beautiful. I am planning on buying a few for my family and friends.
If you're looking for the perfect collector's item, this is it.

Had I but one book I could purchase this year, Avery Krut's Barack Obama Presidential Vault would be it.

Most detailed document found on Barack's journey. Excellent visual and written documentary. Highly recommended for historical keepsake.

I just purchased this book. My wife and I feel it is a great overview of all that went on during the race up until his inaguration. Something to share with family and friends. Many treasures in the book. Definetly worth having. A great book for teachers and parents to explain the process of how our presidential election process works.

The Obama Presidental vault is a clever scrapbook of items collected along the campaign trail leading up to the election of President Obama.
The pictures are beautiful and it is one of my favorite books about the campaign and election. It's perfect for the collector of All things Obama.

Outstanding collection of artifacts with easy to read accounts. great pictures and history. This is my third purchase, two as gifts to special people. Great looking at memorabilia from other states and the road to victory. Great to keep and a great gift to give.

arrived promptly. was used book so was good value for price but some of the inserts were missing or needed to be reattached. could possibly been stored in damp area.

This is a facinating and well documented pictorial book every American should have on it's coffee table. Whitman Press out did itself in every way possible

The "Barack Obama Presidential Vault" is a wonderful source of the journey to the first African American President of the U.S. I bought this book so that my two year old niece could see what is now possible for anyone.
