Who wants to be a President or a King?

Gee, while I wasn't looking the American Presidents Series got a lot longer. If you are not familiar these are short (200> pages) books on an individual President. They are written by major historians as well. If you are like me and want a short introduction to a President, this is a great way to go. I picked up the Andrew Jackson volume at the library. It's written by Sean Wilentz, author of a book on American democracy and a rather scathing review of the current Adminstration entitled "The Worst President in History?" So this guy doesn't have any strong opinions or anything.
